When can the exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in St Anns and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?

However, the firms we work with supply a national conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing.

My wife and I purchased a 4 bedroom Edwardian house in St Anns. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Nationwide Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and there are a couple of entries: the first freehold, the second leasehold under the matching property. I thought I was buying a freehold how can I check?
You need to assess 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 proprietor of the leasehold and freehold title as well is to check (£3). It is not completely unheard of in St Anns and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they remortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with buyers. You can also check the situation with your conveyancing solicitor who conducted the purchase.
