At what point will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Greenwich and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?
If you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Greenwich you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Greenwich)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

At last I have had an offer on an apartment in Greenwich agreed to, but there is a chain. The owners have put an offer on a property, although it’s not yet tied up, and has viewings of other apartments booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Greenwich. What should be my next step? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money?
It is standard to have apprehensions where there is an associated chain given your reluctance to incur costs prematurely (mortgage application is approx £1k, then valuation, Greenwich conveyancing search charges, etc). The first thing to do is check that your property lawyer is on the Virgin Money approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your transaction, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a buoyant market many buyers will apply for a home loan with Virgin Money and pay for the survey and only if it comes back ok would they request their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Greenwich.
