At what point does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Broadclyst and do I need to be at the lawyers office?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Broadclyst you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the sale 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 nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Broadclyst)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
Is it correct that all Broadclyst CQS (Conveyancing Quality Scheme) solicitors are on the Clydesdale conveyancing list of approved practices?
A selection of banks and building societies now utilise CQS as the starting point for Panel approval such as HSBC and Santander. CQS accreditation however is 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 join their approved list of firms.
We expect to receive a AIP from Principality this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc). Do Principality recommend any Broadclyst solicitors on the Principality conveyancing panel, or is it better to find our own lawyer?
You will need to appoint Broadclyst solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Principality conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Principality through the process.
I have paid off my mortgage with Co-operative. I assume I don't need a Broadclyst solicitor on the Co-operative panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Co-operative mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Co-operative mortgage from the register. Co-operative, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Co-operative has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Co-operative has instructed the Land Registry to do so
