When can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Looe and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Looe you are invited in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Looe)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

The Law Society's Conveyancing Quality Scheme is the recognised kitemark for legal experts in the legal transfer of properties, trusted by some of the UK's leading lenders.

I am a negotiator for a reputable estate agency in Looe where we have experienced a few flat sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Looe conveyancing firms. Can you confirm whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
