I am acquiring a leasehold flat in Carmarthen. My Conveyancer is not on the mortgage company conveyancing panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Carmarthen conveyancing solicitor even though they are not on the lender list of approved lawyers?

One will need to have a conveyancer to deal with the formalities when you require a loan to purchase your home. The conveyancer will conduct all the essential investigations on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the necessary mortgage documentation is dealt with. You could appoint a Carmarthen conveyancing practitioner of your choosing. Nevertheless, where the lawyer selected is not a member of the mortgage company approved list additional fees will be incurred as separate legal representation will be need by the lender. Conveyancing panel applications may be submitted, so provided your conveyancer has not previously applied for membership they should take the opportunity to apply.

At what point will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Carmarthen and am I required to attend the lawyers office?

Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Carmarthen you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Carmarthen)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
