When will exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Skewen and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?

If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Skewen you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Skewen)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the mortgage came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to use their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a Skewen based conveyancing firm?

Do check but the the probability is that give you one of their panel solicitors if you accept the "fee-free" offer. Contact the bank and check if they make available a cash alternative. Some mortgage companies have previously offered a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case that money can go towards your preferred conveyancing solicitor in Skewen.

Given that I am about to spend over three hundred thousand on a garden flat in Skewen I wish to have a conversation with the lawyer regarding thetransaction ahead of instructing the firm. Can this be arranged?

Absolutely - we would be happy to talk to you we do not take any clients on without you liaising with the conveyancer due to be doing your property ownership legalities in Skewen.There is no ‘factory style conveyancing’ - each client is unique person, not a file reference. The solicitors that we put you in touch with believe that the figure you are calculated and presented to you for your conveyancing in Skewen should be the figure that you end up paying.

My conveyancers in Skewen have advised me that no longer have my conveyancing file. At the time of my purchase I took out a mortgage with the lender. Is it case that being on the mortgage company conveyancing panel they need to have retained the file for a prescribed period?

It very much depends from lender to lender but many of the Terms and Conditions of Conveyancing Panel Appointment require the file to be held for a period of 6 years. That being said we have not seen a copy of the mortgage company Conveyancing Panel Terms. It might be worth you contacting the lender directly.
