Me and my husband are buying a ground floor flat in Bartley Green. My Solicitor is not on the mortgage company solicitor panel. Am I still permitted to appoint my Bartley Green conveyancing solicitor even though they are excluded from the bank approved list?

They will carry out all the essential legal checks on the property, ensuring that you’re properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is in place.

When does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Bartley Green and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Bartley Green you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return.

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 Bartley Green)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
