When can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Tintagel and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Tintagel you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with supply a national conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm 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 Tintagel)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Tintagel I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Tintagel in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
