When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in St Annes and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in St Annes you are welcome to come in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in St Annes)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

My wife and I own a 4 bedroom Edwardian property in St Annes. Conveyancing solicitor acted for me and Bank of Scotland. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: one for freehold, another for leasehold with the exact same property. Is it worth asking Bank of Scotland to clarify?
You should read the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register as there may be mention of a lease. The best way to be sure that you are also the registered owner of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in St Annes and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also enquire as to the position with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the conveyancing.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. St Annes is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in St Annes are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside St Annes you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in St Annes may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
