At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Appleton and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Appleton you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Appleton)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the HSBC Conveyancing panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Appleton?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit at a cost.
We are purchasing a house in Appleton. I might seem paranoid but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we will need to deposit money into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our monies?

I have a mortgage with Principality for my property in Appleton. Conveyancing has been completed months ago. If I am intending to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a BTL mortgage or inform Principality?
Principality must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of Principality’s mortgage conditions. It may be that Principality will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact Principality directly. It should not be necessary to do this via a Principality conveyancing panel solicitor.
The formalities of my purchase has taken place for my property in Appleton. Conveyancing was satisfactory but I would like to complain about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?
Most banks and building societies have complaints procedures. Your first point of contact should be one of the lender’s branches or the Customer Care Department at head office. Ordinarily complaints to a lender are sorted out very quickly. If you feel the matter is not resolved you can write to Financial Ombudsman Service with full details of your complaint.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Appleton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Appleton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
