It may have been a long time coming a loan agreement from HSBC for the remortgage of my 4 bedroom apartment is due within the next few days. Could you suggest a low cost conveyancing lawyer in Ambleside?

When does exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Ambleside and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Ambleside you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Ambleside)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

This question may be naive but I am unseasoned as FTB of a ground floor flat in Ambleside. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will appoint a local conveyancing solicitor in Ambleside?
There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Conveyancing lawyers for you will transfer the purchase money to the owner’s conveyancers, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to collect the keys from the property Agents and start moving into the property. Usually this happens between 1 and 3pm.

Is it correct that all Ambleside CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the HSBC conveyancing list of approved solicitors?
It is true that some lenders now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel membership such as HSBC and Santander. The Law Society’s CQS membership however gives no guarantee to lender panel acceptance. Nevertheless,the Council of Mortgage Lenders have indicated that it is likely to become a pre-requisite for solicitor practices wishing to remain on their approved list of conveyancing solicitors.
We're first time buyers - agreed a price, yet the property agent has warned us that the seller will only go ahead if we instruct their recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Ambleside
It is highly unlikely the vendors are driving this. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to appoint your preferred Ambleside conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
Developers have recommended to me a lawyer and I've sought a quote from them. It's almost two hundred pounds less expensive than my own Ambleside property lawyer. Should I use them?
Builders normally have lists of conveyancers who are quick and who know the developer’s documentation and lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to choose a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they demand an exchange inside a month. The argument for not opting for the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may be reluctant to fight for your interests at the risk of upsetting the housebuilder. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should keep with your high street Ambleside conveyancer.
