When will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Woodlands and do I need to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Woodlands you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we work with provide a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable 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 Woodlands)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
What is your number one tip for finding a conveyancing solicitor in Woodlands

A cheap quote may mean that the conveyancing solicitor is handling a lot of jobs at one time and you won’t get the quality of service and the attention that you need. It is, however, wise to use a conveyancer who has a fixed fee on a no sale, no fee basis. This way, you know exactly what you’ll have to pay in ahead of the deal.
