I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years built) in Hightown. 95% of the properties have already been sold. Is it really necessary to order neighbourhood searches for my conveyancing in Hightown?
If you getting a loan, your bank will insist on some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Hightown conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you may need to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Hightown.
When will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Hightown and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Hightown you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily 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 Hightown)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Hightown I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hightown suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you may 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
