At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for sale conveyancing in Newark and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Newark you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Newark)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

Where the property is Leasehold then the Land Registry will also normally hold a file duplicate of the Registered Lease and again, a copy can be obtained for £20 inclusive of VAT.
