At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Benllech and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
If you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Benllech you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we recommend 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 executing of the sale agreement is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the firm to exchange contracts when the time is right, 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 lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Benllech)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
