At what point can the exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Elmstead and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Elmstead you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, 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 play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Elmstead)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
