At what point will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in New Inn and do I need to attend the solicitors office?

A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in New Inn)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

We previously chose conveyancing lawyers with offices in New Inn on the Barclays solicitor panel. They are now charging me a supplemental fee for the legal aspects of the Barclays mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Barclays?
Unfortunately, so long as it is in their Terms and Conditions or Quote then yes your property lawyer can levy a fee for this. This charge is not dictated by Barclays but by your New Inn conveyancer. Some firms on the Barclays panel will levy an ‘acting for lender’ fee but plenty of firms include it on their overall fee.

I am due to exchange contracts on my apartment. I had a double glazing fitted in August 2008, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Yorkshire BS are being pedantic. The New Inn solicitor who is on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Yorkshire BS are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Yorkshire BS have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Yorkshire BS have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Yorkshire BS may not want to accept indemnity insurance is because it does not give them any reassurance that the double glazing was correctly and safely installed. The indemnity insurance merely protects against enforcement action which is very unlikely anyway.

My folks are unable to locate their New Inn property on the HM Land Registry site. They recall that 50 years ago when they acquired the house there were complications with the post code not being recognised in some systems.
The vast majority of properties in New Inn should be revealed. Have you attempted a search with just the postcode. Ordinarily it should disclose all the houses and flats inside the postcode. Assuming the property is recorded it will show up with a title number. If they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The property may still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title papers which could be with your parent’s bank.
