When does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Undy and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Undy you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Undy)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Undy is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Undy are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Undy you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Undy may determine 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 property.
Last October I purchased a leasehold flat in Undy. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous owner and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

In the main the cost for major works are not wrapped into the maintenance charges, albeit that a few managing agents in Undy obliged leasehold owners to pay into a reserve fund created for the specific intention of building a fund for larger repairs or maintenance. Best to be warned if changing the roof or some other significant cost is anticipated to be shared by the leaseholders and could well materially impact the level of the maintenance fees or result in a one time payment. Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge payments?
