At what point will exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Ingatestone and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Ingatestone you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Ingatestone)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

It is not completely unheard of in Ingatestone and other areas of the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they sell they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with mortgage companies. You can also enquire as to the situation with your conveyancing practitioner who conducted the purchase.
