When does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Stilton and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Stilton you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for 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 an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stilton)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My lawyer in Stilton is not on the Barclays Approved Panel. Can I still retain my family solicitor even though they are not on the Barclays panel of approved conveyancing solicitors?

- Get a new practitioner to act in the purchase, obviously checking they are on the Barclays panel
