At what point will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Hightown and am I required to be at the conveyancers office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Hightown you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure 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 Hightown)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
