At what point will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Sudbury and do I need to be at the conveyancers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Sudbury you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Sudbury)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
