When will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Braunton and do I need to attend the lawyers branch?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Braunton you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we recommend provide a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the solicitor to address the formalities at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Braunton)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
