When does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Jarrow and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are in close proximity to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Jarrow you are invited in to sign documents. However, the lender approved solicitors we recommend offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process 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 Jarrow)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the selling agent advised that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint the agent's preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. Our preferred option is to instruct a high street solicitor with experience of conveyancing in Jarrow
It is highly unlikely the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Speak to the vendors direct and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to instruct your preferred Jarrow conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their estate agent a introducer fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
