At what point does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Gwaelod Y Garth and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Gwaelod Y Garth you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a national conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing.

I am considering applying for a RBS mortgage for purchase of a newly converted (under development) in Gwaelod Y Garth with 70% loan to value. Is it compulsory to choose a solicitor on the conveyancing panel for RBS ?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the RBS conveyancing panel, but RBS would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
