When does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Pyle and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Pyle you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with supply a national conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Pyle)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

One month into purchasing a property in Pyle. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely impact the salability of the property?
Pyle conveyancing does not normally involve leasehold houses. The crucial consideration here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's essentially freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value significantly.
On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a significant impact on the value, and most likely wouldn't be acceptable to the lender. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be stated in the lease which should be made available to your property lawyer.
