At what point will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Parsons Green and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Parsons Green you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the property agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Parsons Green)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My wife and I are downsizing from our home in Parsons Green and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being constructed on contaminated land. Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the buyers are using a national conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Parsons Green. Having lived in Parsons Green for 5 years we know that this is a non issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to seek clarification that the buyers are looking for.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. Are they able to advise? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Parsons Green I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Parsons Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
