When will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Mossley Hill and am I required to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Mossley Hill you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the firms we recommend offer a national conveyancing service and provide as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, 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 an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Mossley Hill)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

I have instructed a Mossley Hill lawyer having checked that they are on the HSBC conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
HSBC will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually HSBC will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. You may wish to consider appointing your own Mossley Hill surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property. It is up to you to satisfy yourself that the property is structurally sound before you buy it. If the survey or report reveals that building work is needed, you should tell your solicitor. You may wish to renegotiate with the seller.

Any local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. It does beg the question why the purchasers instructed a national conveyancing firm rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Mossley Hill. Having lived in Mossley Hill for many years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that the buyers are looking for.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing solicitor currently acting for you. Are they able to advise? You must check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same sickness)
