When does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in St Austell and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in St Austell you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we recommend provide a countrywide conveyancing service and give 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 the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in St Austell)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

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 residence.

It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that owners make annual payments to maintain the road. If one exists, the road will likely be maintained and look nicer than council owned.
