At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Ryhall and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Ryhall you are welcome to attend to sign contracts. However, the law practices we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Ryhall)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
We're in Ryhall, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nottingham , and our lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?

However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
My partner and I are intent on selling our home in Ryhall and according to the buyers it appears that there is a risk of it being built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Ryhall lawyer would know that there is no such problem.

It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
