At what point does exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Altrincham and do I need to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are near to our conveyancing solicitors in Altrincham you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we work with supply countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Altrincham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

My partner and I about to exchange buying a property in Altrincham but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed compensation from the seller of five thousand pounds by way of a reduction in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process however the mortgage company will not permit this. Should they have been informed?
Your property lawyer that is on the bank conveyancing panel is obliged to advise the lender of any changes to the sale amount. If you did not allow your solicitor to notify the price change to your mortgage company then they would have to refrain from representing you and the lender.
