At what point does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Wombourne and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Wombourne you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the property agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Wombourne)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
If you had a top tip for selecting a conveyancing solicitor in Wombourne what would it be?
We would encourage you not to go for the cheapest Wombourne conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. 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.
This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Wombourne. Do I receive the keys to the premises on completion from my solicitor? If this is the case, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Wombourne?

Your solicitors will arrange to send the completion advance to the owner’s solicitors, and once they have received this, you should be called to collect the keys from the selling Agents and start moving into the property.

The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Wombourne. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. How does one go about formally complaining?
Almost all banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first port of call should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Team at head office. We understand that complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly. However if you are not satisfied that the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service who will take matters further.
I am purchasing my first flat in Wombourne with a loan from Nottingham Building Society. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The house builders rep advised me not to tell my lawyer about this extras as it may adversely affect my loan with the lender. Is this normal?.
