When does exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Dagenham and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Dagenham you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange at the suitable time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Dagenham)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
