When can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Clent and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?

However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Clent)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

The fact that your lawyer is on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
