At what point will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Knotty Ash and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Knotty Ash you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a national conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is necessary for the solicitor to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Knotty Ash)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
