At what point will exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Stocksfield and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
Where you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Stocksfield you are welcome to come in to sign documents. However, the firms we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stocksfield)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Your solicitor should check the deeds as conveyancing in Stocksfield can occasionally identify restrictions in the title deeds which prevent certain changes or need the permission of another owner. Some extensions need local authority planning consent and approval in compliance with building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which frequently prevent or impact extensions. It would be sensible to check these things with a surveyor ahead of any purchase.
