When will exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Splott and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Splott you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a countrywide conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the property agreement is not the point of no return. A signed contract simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities at the suitable time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure 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 Splott)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
