When does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Castelnau and am I required to be at the solicitors office?

Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Castelnau you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Castelnau)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

My home in Castelnau is up for sale and I have accepted an offer. Does my lawyer need to be on the RBS conveyancing panel in order to deal with the discharge of my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the RBS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently at the moment.

A selection of banks and building societies now utilise the accreditation scheme as the kick off point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander.

The mortgage over my property is with TSB for my property in Castelnau. Conveyancing has been completed some time 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 BTL mortgage or inform TSB?

TSB must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of TSB’s mortgage conditions. It may be that TSB 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 TSB directly. You need not do this via a TSB conveyancing panel solicitor.

What do I do now? When do I get the mortgage application with HSBC going?

It is normal to have anxieties where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Castelnau conveyancing search fees, etc). The first thing to do is check that your conveyancing practitioner is on the HSBC approved list. As to the next stages this very much dictated by the specifics of your case, motivation for this property and on the state of the market. In a rising market some purchasers will apply for the mortgage with HSBC and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancing practitioner to proceed with the conveyancing in Castelnau.
