At what point does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Shadwell and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Shadwell you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Shadwell)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
There is lots of here concerning conveyancing in Shadwell but can you isolate your top tip for choosing the right conveyancer in Shadwell
We would encourage you not to base your choice on the lowest Shadwell conveyancing quote. You really do get what you pay for when it comes to property lawyers. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you go into the conveyancing with your eyes wide open.
Are all Shadwell Conveyancing Quality Solicitors on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
It is true that some banks and building societies now use the accreditation scheme as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the CML have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for firms wishing to join their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Bank of Ireland. Shadwell conveyancing practitioners were appointed. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Bank of Ireland?
Some lenders take longer than others. Have Bank of Ireland done the valuation? Have you advised Bank of Ireland as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel? Sometimes it can take as long as six weeks for a mortgage offer to be issued.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants.
