When can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Chase Side and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Chase Side you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Chase Side)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My wife and I have a 4 bedroom Georgian property in Chase Side. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Clydesdale. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are two entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the exact same address. I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Chase Side and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing solicitor who completed the work.
