At what point does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Fulford and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?

If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Fulford you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating 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 officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Fulford)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

This question may be naive but I am new to the house moving as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Fulford. Do I receive the keys to the premises on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Fulford?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you should be invited to collect the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I'm spending time looking at flats in Fulford and I am now considering a potential offer. Should I already have a conveyancer appointed at this point? I intend to finance via a mortgage with Bank of Ireland.

You should start requesting conveyancing quotes from solicitors ASAP. After you have chosen your lawyer and once your offer is accepted you can instruct them to work for you and forward their contact information on to the estate agent. As you are obtaining a mortgage with Bank of Ireland, ask your prospective lawyers if they are on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel otherwise they can't do the mortgage legal work.

My offer was accepted on a house in Fulford on 20/1/2025, valuation was booked five days later, received a clean bill of health. Solicitor appointed, so all that was missing was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to RBS and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the RBS conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?

Mortgage companies tend not to not issue an offer until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for RBS to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the RBS conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Fulford completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?

The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
