When does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Upper Holloway and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Upper Holloway you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure 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 Upper Holloway)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I currently have a mortgage with Nationwide for my property in Upper Holloway. Conveyancing was finalised 12 months ago. In the event that I decide to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Nationwide?
Nationwide must be informed of your intention prior to renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Nationwide’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Nationwide directly. You need not do this via a Nationwide conveyancing panel solicitor.
