At what point will exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Cardiff and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Cardiff you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing 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 exchange contracts at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Cardiff)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Cardiff. I have a mortgage agreed with Aldermore. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?
It is not advisable to proceed with a house purchase without a solicitor. The council's solicitor are not acting for you. You need a solicitor for a number reasons. One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Aldermore, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Aldermore conveyancing panel.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent has warned us that the owners will only issue a contract if we appoint their recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Cardiff
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to appoint your own,trusted Cardiff conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
