Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Lees

When can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Lees and do I need to attend the conveyancers office?

Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Lees you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, 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 in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Lees)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Please explain the implications if my lawyer’s firm is suspended from the Leeds Building Society Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Lees?

First, this is very unlikely to happen. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
