When will exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Heywood and am I required to attend the lawyers office?

If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Heywood you are invited in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we recommend offer 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 simply enables the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Heywood)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Forgive me if this question is silly but I am unseasoned as FTB of a two bedroom flat in Heywood. Do I pick up the keys to the house on completion from my conveyancer? If this is the case, I will appoint a High Street conveyancing solicitor in Heywood?

On the day of completion you will not be required to attend the conveyancers office in Heywood.
