At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Walkden and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Walkden you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Walkden)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
What happens if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Walkden?
The first thing to point out is that, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
