When will exchange of contracts happen for domestic conveyancing in Potton and am I required to be at the lawyers office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Potton you are invited in to sign documents. However, the firms we work with offer a national conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you digitally. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the conveyancer to exchange contracts when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Potton)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
