When can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Castle Vale and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?

Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Castle Vale you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very 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 Castle Vale)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Me and my brother purchased a terraced Victorian house in Castle Vale. Conveyancing solicitor represented me and Skipton Building Society. I happened to do a free search for it on the Land Registry database and I saw two entries: one for freehold, the second leasehold with the exact same property. If a house is not a freehold shouldn't I have been informed?

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 Castle Vale and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they mortgage they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who carried out the work.
