At what point does exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Oadby and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Oadby you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to officially exchange at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Oadby)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
