At what point will exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Westonzoyland and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Westonzoyland you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Westonzoyland)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
I had intended to instruct a property lawyer in Westonzoyland for our house move. Our broker informed us that our mortgage company Norwich and Peterborough Building Society won't deal with them. Surely this is unduly restrictive?
Mortgage Companies on the whole imposes restrictions either the type or the amount of conveyancing firms on their member panel. A common example of such criteria being that a law practice must have two or more partners. As well as restricting the profile of firm, a few lenders have reduced the amount of solicitor practices they use to act for them. Be aware that Norwich and Peterborough Building Society have no responsibility for the quality of advice provided by any member of Norwich and Peterborough Building Society Conveyancer Panel. Mortgage fraud was a key driver in the rationalisation of solicitor panels a few years ago even though there are differing views concerning the extent of solicitor engagement in some of that fraud. Figures from the Land Registry reveal that hundreds of law firms, including some in or near Westonzoyland only perform one or two conveyances a year.
