The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Becontree Heath)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

• a different person deals with the conveyance (i.e. not the borrower or a member of the borrower's immediate family);
• there is no conflict of interest and none arises during the transaction; and
• the Law Society guidelines are followed.
