When will exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Moseley and am I required to be at the lawyers office?

However, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the contract is not the critical part.

The procedure 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 Moseley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

We are expecting a mortgage offer soon. The lender mentioned the loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel solicitor as I would prefer to instruct a Moseley based conveyancing firm?
