When will exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Bloxham and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Bloxham you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing.

I am told that my conveyancing solicitors will need to check that the building insurance for my purchase of a house in Bloxham. My lender is Chelsea Building Society
Chelsea Building Society have specific requirements as set out in the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook. As of 12/9/2026, the requirements read as follows :
I can not fathom if my bank obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have called into my local Bloxham bank branch on numerous occasions and was advised it wasn't a problem and they would lend. My Bloxham conveyancing solicitor - who is on the lender conveyancing panel- called and was told they will not lend in accordance with their published requirements. Who do I believe?
The conveyancer has to follow the Council of Mortgage Lenders’ Handbook section two conditions for your lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the mortgage company will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the bank to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years left on the lease.
Planning on purchasing a maisonette in Bloxham. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Lender if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Santander conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Bloxham lawyer is on the Santander conveyancing panel.
I have instructed a Bloxham lawyer having made sure that they are on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Kent Reliance will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Kent Reliance will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your solicitor will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Bloxham postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Kent Reliance, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Bloxham.
