At what point will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Twyford and do I need to be at the lawyers office?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Twyford you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Twyford)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Local searches are not likely to be the root cause of delay in conveyancing in Twyford.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Twyford I like with a park and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Twyford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
Is it simple use your search tool to select a conveyancing lawyer in Twyford on the approved list for my mortgage?
First pick a lender such as Accord Mortgages Ltd, Skipton Building Society or Platform Home Loans Ltd then choose your location e.g. Twyford. Conveyancing firms in Twyford and further afield should be shown.
