At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Abbots Langley and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Abbots Langley you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Abbots Langley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Me and my brother own a semi-detached Victorian house in Abbots Langley. Conveyancing lawyer represented me and Accord Mortgages Ltd. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw a couple of entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the matching address. Is it worth asking Accord Mortgages Ltd to clarify?
You need to review 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 Abbots Langley and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Abbots Langley I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Abbots Langley for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
