Willinstructing a Carmel conveyancing practitioner make my purchase more efficient?

Carmel is a special area, where neighbourhood experience is a big bonus. The relaxed pace of life has an upside – but not for your house move.

At what point will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Carmel and do I need to attend the lawyers office?

Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Carmel you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide a national conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Carmel)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

This question may be naive but I am wet behind the ears as FTB of a ground floor flat in Carmel. Do I receive the keys to the house on the completion date from my solicitor? If so, I will find a local conveyancing solicitor in Carmel?

On the day of completion you do not need to attend the conveyancers office in Carmel. Conveyancing lawyers for you will electronically transfer the purchase money to the owner’s solicitors, and shortly after the monies have arrived, you will be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. Usually this occurs between 1 and 3pm.

is it true that all Carmel solicitors on the Skipton conveyancing panel are regulated by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority?

As a firm of solicitors, in order to be on the Skipton conveyancing panel they would need to be governed by the SRA. The majority of mortgage companies do permit licenced conveyancers on their panel in which case such practice would be overseen by the Council of Licensed Conveyancers.

I have paid off my mortgage with UBS. I assume I don't need a Carmel property lawyer on the UBS panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your UBS mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the UBS mortgage from the register. UBS, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where UBS has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. UBS has instructed the Land Registry to do so

The Land Registry will send you a letter confirming that your UBS mortgage has been paid off.
