At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Beaufort and am I required to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Beaufort you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email.

The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Beaufort)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
