At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Pencader and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Pencader you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to address the formalities when the time is right, 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.
Forgive me if this question is silly but I am new to the home buying as a 1st time purchaser of a two bedroom flat in Pencader. Do I pick up the keys to the property on the completion date from my lawyer? If so, I will instruct a local conveyancing solicitor in Pencader?
On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Pencader. Conveyancing lawyers for you will arrange to send the purchase money to the seller's lawyers, and once they have received this, you should be invited to receive the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property. This tends to happen early afternoon.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Pencader is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Am I right to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Pencader conveyancing company?
As with lots of professional services, often referrals from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of people with a keen interest in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all put forward lawyers to instruct. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to appoint your preferred lawyer. You need to be aware that some banks specify a panel list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
