When does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Hednesford and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?

The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Hednesford)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
