When does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Cotgrave and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Cotgrave you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Cotgrave)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

As you are obtaining a mortgage with HSBC your lawyer must comply with the conveyancing requirements set out in Part two of UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook for HSBC.

The requirements relate to the installation of panels on properties nationwide and is not limited to Cotgrave.
I had an offer accepted on an apartment in Cotgrave on 3/10/2025, valuation was booked five days later, all came back fine. Solicitor appointed, so the only thing outstanding was my mortgage offer. Having made daily calls to Bank of Ireland and chasing them on my offer, I have now been told that my offer will not be issued unless the lawyer is on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. Can the lender hold off the offer?
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Bank of Ireland to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Bank of Ireland conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
Just bought a semi-detached house in Cotgrave , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Cotgrave conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Cotgrave is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
