When can the exchange of contracts take place for sale conveyancing in Ripley and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
Where you are round the corner to our conveyancing solicitors in Ripley you are welcome to attend to sign documents. However, the law practices we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities 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 an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Ripley)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

We are downsizing from our property in Ripley and the buyers lawyers are claiming that there is a possibility that the property was built land that was not decontaminated. Any high street Ripley lawyer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers used an online conveyancing practice rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Ripley. We have lived in Ripley for 4 years we know of no issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to obtain confirmation need.
It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer already. What do they say? You should enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same illness)
Am I better off to instruct a Ripley conveyancing practitioner based in the location that I am purchasing? An old friend can perform the legal work however his firm is located 200miles away.
The primary upside of using a local Ripley conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to execute documents, deliver your identification documents and pester them if necessary. They will also have local insight which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you. If if people you trust used your friend and on the whole were content that should surpass using an unknown Ripley conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Ripley based.
