At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Marston Moretaine and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Marston Moretaine you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Marston Moretaine)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Lloyds. Marston Moretaine conveyancing solicitors were instructed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Lloyds?

Is it usual for Leeds Building Society to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Marston Moretaine is approved on their conveyancing panel? Leeds Building Society have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their PI Insurance.
Mortgage companies tend not to not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Leeds Building Society to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Leeds Building Society conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
