When can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Pencader and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Pencader you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Pencader)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

We previously instructed conveyancers located in Pencader on the Bank of Ireland solicitor approved list. They are now charging me a further sum for the legal aspects of the Bank of Ireland mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee specified by Bank of Ireland?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms of Engagement or Quote then yes your lawyer can levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Bank of Ireland but by your Pencader conveyancing practitioner. Plenty of firms on the Bank of Ireland panel will charge an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of practices incorporate it on their overall fee.
I currently have a mortgage with Skipton for my property in Pencader. Conveyancing has been completed a year 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 Skipton?
You must advise Skipton in advance of renting your property as this is likely to be a breach of Skipton’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies 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 Skipton directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Skipton conveyancing panel lawyer.
