When will exchange of contracts occur in sale conveyancing in Wiveliscombe and am I required to be at the solicitors office?

Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Wiveliscombe you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the critical part. A signed contract is necessary for the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very 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 Wiveliscombe)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
