At what point will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in North Finchley and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in North Finchley you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure 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 North Finchley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
What happens if my solicitor is expelled from the Yorkshire BS Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in North Finchley?
The first thing to point out is that, this is very unlikely to happen. 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.
