When does exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Par and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Par you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to officially exchange 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 involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Par)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I'm at the point of viewing flats in Par and I am now considering a potential offer. Is it too early to have a solicitor in place? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Virgin Money.
It would be sensible to instigate your search sooner rather than later. Once you decide who you want to use and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their details on to the estate agent. Given that you are obtaining a mortgage with Virgin Money, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Virgin Money conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.
The mortgage over my property is with Kent Reliance for my property in Par. Conveyancing has been completed some time ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform Kent Reliance?
You must advise Kent Reliance in advance of letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Kent Reliance’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Kent Reliance will permit you to let 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 Kent Reliance directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Kent Reliance conveyancing panel lawyer.

I was recommended by three or four local property agents in Par to find a conveyancer on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to recommend your services rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
