The owners have rather assertive sellers who has recommended a preliminary contract with a deposit of 5k. Are such agreements generally advanced for Romsley conveyancing transactions?
This form of contract isn't common in Romsley, conveyancers will often direct clients away from them as they divert attention from the primary objective, namely conveyancing and if you end up losing your deposit then the solicitor is left exposed. In addition, there is no assurance that just because the vendor has signed an exclusivity contract they will sell to you. They may be in contravention of the agreement if they receive sufficient incentive to do so because an aggrieved party with the benefit of a lockout agreement will still be obliged show losses as a consequence of the breach and these may not equalise the extra amount that the owner may obtain by reneging on the agreement, however morally shameful that may be.
At what point does exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Romsley and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Romsley you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with supply a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing.

I am considering mortgaging my apartment in Romsley, does my lawyer have to be on the Principality Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Principality conveyancing panel, but Principality would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same conveyancing matter.
We're FTB’s - agreed a price, but the agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we use the agent's recommended conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Romsley
It is unlikely the vendors are driving this. Should the owner require ‘a quick sale', turning down a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they understand (a)you are serious buyers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Romsley conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothose that will provide their estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
