When will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Pocklington and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?

Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Pocklington you are invited in to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with provide a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Pocklington)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
