At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Stretford and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Stretford you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange 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 play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stretford)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My partner and I have arranged a further advance on our mortgage from RBS as we intend to conduct a loft conversion to our property in Stretford. Are we obliged to appoint a nearby Stretford solicitor on the RBS conveyancing panel to deal with the legals?
RBS do not ordinarily appoint firms on their approved list of lawyers to handle such a matter. If they do require any legal work then you would need to ensure that such a lawyer was on the RBS panel.
I am due to exchange contracts on my flat. I had a double glazing fitted in October 2006, but did not receive a FENSA certificate or Building Regulation Certificate. My buyer's mortgage company, Principality are being a right pain. The Stretford solicitor who is on the Principality conveyancing panel is recommending indemnity insurance as a solution but Principality are requiring a building regulation certificate. Why do Principality have a conveyancing panel if they don't accept advice from them?
It is probably the case that Principality have referred the matter to their valuer. The reason why Principality 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.
Planning on purchasing a flat in Stretford. I have received an online quote from a licenced conveyancer, which states: "There will be no charge for dealing with the Building Society if you are obtaining a mortgage". I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Stretford conveyancing practitioner is on the Co-operative conveyancing panel.

My fiance and I are planning to purchase a three room apartmentin Stretford with a home loan from a bank. We like our lawyer in Stretford however our mortgage company says she’s not approved on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose from the our lender panel firms or keep our Stretford solicitor and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Stretford lawyer?
Unfortunately,no. The lender mortgage offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most mortgage companies had open panels, including many conveyancing solicitors in Stretford : 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 your mortgage company.
