When does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Pinner Green and do I need to be at the lawyers office?
Where you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Pinner Green you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, 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 lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Pinner Green)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

We expect to receive a DIP from Nottingham this week so we know how much we could potentially offer as otherwise we only have online calculators to go by (which aren't taking into account credit checks etc).

You will need to appoint Pinner Green solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Nottingham through the process.
