At what point will exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Culcheth and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Culcheth you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Culcheth)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I can not fathom if my mortgage offer obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called my Culcheth building society branch on numerous occasions and was told they are content with the situation and they would lend. My Culcheth conveyancing solicitor - who is on the bank conveyancing panel- telephoned to say that they refuse to lend in accordance with their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. I have no idea who is right.
The property lawyer has to follow the CML Handbook section two provisions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
