At what point does exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Tickhill and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Victorian house in Tickhill. Conveyancing practitioner acted for me and Clydesdale.

I'd like to know for sure, how can I find out??
You need to assess the Freehold register you have again and check the Charges Register for 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 Tickhill and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.

As is the case with lots of service providers, often referrals from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are many players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks might all suggest lawyers to use. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a financial incentive behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your own conveyancer. Don't forget that many mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage related work in your home move.

Back In 2003, I bought a leasehold house in Tickhill. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage organised.

First contact HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion.
