When does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Wick and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Wick you are invited in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Wick)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Wick I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Wick for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
