At what point will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Beckermet and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Beckermet you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email.

I had intended to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Beckermet for our house purchase. Our financial adviser informed us that our mortgage lenders Bank of Ireland won't deal with them. Why is this not regarded as unfair competition?
Pre- 2008 most banks had a different appetite for risk. Almost all Beckermet conveyancing firms would have been on many bank panels. The FSA in 2010 conducted a thematic review into mortgage fraud which concluded: know the conveyancing solicitors dealt with. Consequently, lenders have regularly sought more data from law firms concerning their operations and the individuals who work for them and set certain criteria such a completing on a minimum volume of transactions. Many Beckermet conveyancing firms that have been excluded from lender panels have a 100% healthy track record, no complaints and no claims and didn't just 'dabble' in conveyancing. Beckermet is one of the hundreds of locations where the solicitors showing on our search results are are approved Bank of Ireland.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one near me in Beckermet I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease.
