My fiance’s dad is a property lawyer. I suspect that I'll be able to get preferential pricing for conveyancing, but if not, what level of figure should I be paying for conveyancing in Didcot?

We are about to sign contracts for a semi detached house in Didcot. We encountered a problem. The mortgage offer with HSBC Bank expires on 18/2/2026 but the owners are insisting on a completion date of 20/2/2026. Is it possible to extend the mortgage offer?
The best person to deal with your issue is your lawyer who is in a position to assess if he or she is should be discussing with the bank, seller’s lawyers, estate agents or conceivably all three based on what has happend in your house move as of today.
When can the exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Didcot and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Didcot you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a national conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the property agreement is not the critical part. 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 exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Didcot)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
My wife and I are purchasing a house in Didcot. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a conveyancer? At some point we will need to send funds into their account. What protection do we have from them run away with our money?
Be assured that all money in a Solicitors client account is 100% safe, and even if your Solicitor ran off with it, the Law Society would reimburse you fully.
There are plenty of conveyancing solicitors in Didcot but how do I know who I should use?
Do not opt for the cheapest Didcot conveyancing fees. You really do get what you’re paying for when it comes to conveyancing solicitors. A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of time.
I was told three weeks ago that my mortgage has been agreed to by Skipton. Is it usual for Skipton to only issue the offer once my solicitor in Didcot is approved on their conveyancing panel? Skipton have asked my solicitor to see a copy of their Professional Indemnity Insurance Schedule.
A lender would not issue a mortgage until they have details of a lawyer on their panel. It can take a few weeks for Skipton to deal with your lawyer's application to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel. There's no guarantee that your solicitor will be accepted.
