When can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Teddington and am I required to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Teddington you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Teddington)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
