When can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Seaford and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Seaford you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Seaford)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Seaford is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Seaford are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Seaford you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Seaford may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
