Unfortunately I am unable to travel far from Chelsea. I would like to know the reason why all Chelsea solicitors aren't included on all lender panels?
Even though it may seem unfair for mortgage companies to limit who can represent them, from the public’s or conveyancer’s standpoint, the the contrary view is that mortgage companies are becoming ever more anxious and regard it imperative to defend themselves against illegal activities. As a result of this concern lenders are limiting their conveyancing panel to a size that they are happy to control.
At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Chelsea and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Chelsea you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the law practices we recommend provide a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Chelsea)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
We are aiming to move house in January. Will my conveyancing solicitor liaise with the removal company on the completion day. Incidentally, can you suggest a removal company in Chelsea. Conveyancing firm was found before I stumbled across this website.
On the afternoon of completion you will need to collect the house keys from your selling agent but this should only occur when the previous owners solicitors inform the agent that they have the completion monies and the keys can be handed over. After that you will need to inform the removal men that they can start moving you in. As a matter of policy we do not recommend a particular removal company but can assist you in locating a conveyancing in Chelsea or a lawyer with expertise in conveyancing in Chelsea.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Chelsea. I have a mortgage agreed with Yorkshire BS. 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 Yorkshire BS, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel.
