When will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Finningley and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?

However, the law practices we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily 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 Finningley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Finningley is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Finningley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Finningley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Finningley may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
