When does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Chulmleigh and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Chulmleigh you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the firm to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Chulmleigh)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I recently had an offer accepted on an apartment in Chulmleigh. My mortgage broker recommended their conveyancers. I paid an advanced payment of £225. Shortly after, the conveyancer called me embarrassingly acknowledging that they were not on the Nationwide conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Nationwide panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.

I purchased a flat in Chulmleigh last 12/10/2023 and to date it is still not recorded with the Land Registry. It is part of a new estate and my conveyancing practitioner told me that it may take twelve months to complete the registration formalities. I have called HMLR directly and they have informed me the initial application was cancelled due to failure to reply to requisitions. What can I do?
It is your conveyancing practitioner that you should turn to here in order to satisfy any concerns which have been raised as part of the registration process for your Chulmleigh property. Normal Chulmleigh conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the seller's solicitor that they will help resolve any requirements raised by HMLR so it may be a case of seeking to enforce that undertaking in some way.
