Am I correct in assuming that the fact that my conveyancer in Coombe Dingle is not listed on my bank's solicitor panel that there is a problem with the quality of his conveyancing?
That is most likely a wrong assumption to make. There are plenty of reasonable explanations. A recent report by the solicitors regulator revealed 76% of law firms surveyed had been removed from at least one lender panel. The top 5 reasons are as follows: (1) lack of transactions (2) the lawyer is a sole practitioner (3) as part of the HSBC panel reduction (4) regulatory contact by SRA (5) accidental removal. Where you are concerned you should contact the Coombe Dingle conveyancing practice and enquire why they are no longer on the approved list for your mortgage company.

When does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Coombe Dingle and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Coombe Dingle you are invited in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with supply a national conveyancing service and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to exchange contracts 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 a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Coombe Dingle)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Coombe Dingle with the aim of speeding up the sale process?
- A significant proportion of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Coombe Dingle can be bypassed where you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation needed by the buyers’ conveyancers. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The purchasers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than unsettled. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Organising a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Coombe Dingle home move. If a reissued share certificate is needed, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if applicable) for this at the earliest opportunity. The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Coombe Dingle charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Coombe Dingle.
