When can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Bexhill and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Bexhill you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bexhill)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
