At what point does exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Callington and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Callington you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts 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 involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Callington)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Callington I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. There is not much else in Callington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months 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 current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Callington. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual as all rents and maintenance payments should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

It is important to be aware whether window replacement or some other significant cost is coming up to be shared between the leaseholders and could well materially impact the level of the maintenance fees or require a one off invoice.
