At what point does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Somerton and am I required to be at the solicitors office?
If you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Somerton you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the firms we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line 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 an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Somerton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
