When can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Netherley and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Netherley you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend provide a national conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Netherley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

We expect to receive a DIP from Coventry BS this week so we can work out what to offer on a property we like as otherwise we are dependent on web based calculators (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Netherley solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Coventry BS through the process.
Completion of my purchase has taken place for my property in Netherley. Conveyancing was a necessary evil but I feel I should register my dissatisfaction about the lender. Who do I contact should I wish to lodge a complaint?

In most cases complaints to a lender are resolved very quickly.

It is not clear whether my lender obliges me to make sure the lease term for the flat is extended prior to the completion date. I have telephoned my Netherley bank branch on various occasions and was told it does not affect the mortgage offer and they will lend. My Netherley conveyancing solicitor - who is on the mortgage company conveyancing panel- called to say that they refuse to lend based on their UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook minimum lease term requirements. Who do I believe?
Provided that the conveyancer is on the mortgage company approved list, she or he must adhere to the CML Handbook specifications for the lender. Unless your lawyer obtains specific confirmation in writing that the bank will go ahead, your lawyer has no choice but to refrain from exchanging contract and committing you to the purchase. We would suggest that you ask the lender to contact your lawyer in writing confirming that they will accept the number of years remaining.
