At what point will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Prenton and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Prenton you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Prenton)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Me and my brother have a terraced Edwardian property in Prenton. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Bank of Ireland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold with the matching property. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You should assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in Prenton and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one close by in Prenton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Prenton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
