At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in West Yorkshire and do I need to be at the solicitors office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in West Yorkshire you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure 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 West Yorkshire)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
