When does exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in St Helier and do I need to attend the solicitors branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in St Helier you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 St Helier)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My husband and I are hoping to buy a newbuild apartment in St Helier with a homeloan from Barclays Direct.We would like to retain our St Helier conveyancing solicitor but Barclays Direct advised that he's not listed on their approved list of firms. We have to appoint a Barclays Direct panel lawyer or retain our preferred solicitor and pay for a Barclays Direct panel lawyer to act for them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?
Unfortunately,no. The home loan issued to you contains various provisions, one of which will be that lawyers needs to be on the Barclays Direct approved list. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for Barclays Direct
