When can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Sandown and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Sandown you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we work with 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 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 will usually be very 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 Sandown)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Sandown I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Sandown for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass 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 concerning this.

Completion is due on our sale of a £275,000 maisonette in Sandown next week. The freeholder has quoted £372 for Certificate of Compliance, insurance certificate and 3 years statements of service charge. Is it legal for a freeholder to charge such fees for a flat conveyance in Sandown?
Sandown conveyancing on leasehold maisonettes normally necessitates the buyer’s solicitor submitting questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address such questions most will be willing to do so. They are at liberty to levy a reasonable administration fee for responding to enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is in excess of £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be accompanied by a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, without which the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to complete the sale of your home.
