When will exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Dunnington and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Dunnington you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Dunnington)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My husband and I are buying a newly converted apartment in Dunnington with a loan from National Westminster Bank.We use our Dunnington conveyancing solicitor but National Westminster Bank informed us his firm is not listed on their approved list of member firms. We have to appoint a National Westminster Bank panel firm or retain our high street solicitor and pay for a National Westminster Bank panel lawyer to act for them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that National Westminster Bank use our lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The mortgage offered to you contains terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the National Westminster Bank approved list. in the past, most lenders had large numbers of solicitors on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your solicitors to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for National Westminster Bank

Are Dunnington conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to publish transparent conveyancing costs?
Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not intended as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, constitute the Law Society’s perspective of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Dunnington or or elsewhere in the country.
