When can the exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Alcester and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Alcester you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Alcester)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Completion of my remortgage has taken place for my property in Alcester. Conveyancing was of an acceptable standard but I would like to complain about the lender. How do I make a complaint?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved effectively and efficiently. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.
I have instructed a Alcester solicitor having made sure that they are on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Leeds Building Society will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Leeds Building Society will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Alcester surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Alcester I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Alcester suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
