At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Southsea and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Southsea you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Southsea)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We are getting the release of further monies on our home loan from Skipton as we intend to conduct renovations to our property in Southsea. Are we obliged to select a bricks and mortar Southsea solicitor on the Skipton conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
Skipton don't usually instruct a member of their conveyancing panel to deal with such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the Skipton conveyancing panel.
Last month we had a mortgage agreed in principle with Principality. Southsea conveyancing practitioners were chosen. What is the average time that one could expect to receive a mortgage offer from Principality?
There is no definitive answer here. Have Principality completed the valuation? Have you advised Principality as to your lawyers' details and checked that your lawyers are on the Principality conveyancing panel? It is not unusual for a mortgage offer to take a month to come through.
Our sealed bid on a property in Southsea has been accepted, the owners do however have a connected purchase. The owners have offered on a property, but it’s not yet tied up, and are looking at other apartments in the pipeline. I have selected a nearby conveyancing solicitor in Southsea. What should be my next step? At what stage should I apply for the mortgage with UBS?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Southsea conveyancing search costs, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the UBS approved list. Concerning the subsequent steps this very much depends on the uniqueness of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of home buyers would apply for the mortgage with UBS and pay for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they ask their conveyancer to press on with searches.
