At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Irlam and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Irlam you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Irlam)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Irlam I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Irlam for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan that many years may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this matter.
