When can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in North Newbald and am I required to attend the solicitors branch?

The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing.
