When does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Montgomery and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?

If you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Montgomery you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we work with offer a national conveyancing service and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to officially exchange when the time is right, 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 the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Montgomery)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
