When does exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Bankside and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?

Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Bankside you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bankside)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

We are planning to move house in September. Does my conveyancing solicitor call the removal company on the completion day. On a separate note, can you put forward a removal company in Bankside. Conveyancing firm was chosen prior to coming across your site.

On the day of completion you can pick up the house keys from the estate agent however this can only take place when the sellers lawyers advise the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be given over. You will need to advise the removal men that you are ready to move in. As a matter of policy we do not suggest a specific removal organisation but can help you locate a residential property solicitor in Bankside or a legal practice that specialises in conveyancing in Bankside.

When it comes to lenders such as Clydesdale, do Bankside property lawyers incur an annual charge to be on the list of approved solicitors?

After much negotiation I have agreed a price on a house in Bankside. My financial adviser recommended their conveyancers. I paid an upfront payment of £225. A few days later, the lawyer contacted me to say that they were not on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?

You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the HSBC panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

Despite weeks of looking the Title Certificate and documents to our home are lost. The solicitors who dealt with the conveyancing in Bankside 5 years ago are no longer around. What are my options?
