At what point will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Oxshott and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Oxshott you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities at the appropriate 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 the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Oxshott)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
Various online forums that I have frequented warn that are the number one reason for hinderance in Oxshott conveyancing transactions. Is there any truth in this?

How does conveyancing in Oxshott differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Oxshott approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because builders in Oxshott usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Oxshott or who has acted in the same development.

Having used your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the lender approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?
Not all firms are yet listed on our lender panel search tool which is still relatively new. Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the lender conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the mortgage company solicitor panel.
