When will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Shepton Mallet and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Shepton Mallet you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the suitable 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 involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Shepton Mallet)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I am looking for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one close by in Shepton Mallet I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Shepton Mallet for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Two months into a sale of a flat in Shepton Mallet. Conveyancing is fine but we are being charged a fortune by the landlord.
