At what point will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in North Shields and Tynemouth and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in North Shields and Tynemouth you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email.

Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in North Shields and Tynemouth)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Back In 2007, I bought a leasehold flat in North Shields and Tynemouth. Conveyancing and Chelsea Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1991. The conveyancing solicitor in North Shields and Tynemouth who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a North Shields and Tynemouth conveyancing firm to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
