When does exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Shinfield and do I need to be at the solicitors branch?

Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Shinfield you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the lender approved solicitors we work with supply a national conveyancing service and give as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The executing of the sale agreement is not the point of no return. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Shinfield)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

It is not completely unheard of in Shinfield and other locations in the country and poses no real issues for owners other than when they buy they have to account for both freehold and leasehold interests when dealing with lenders. You can also question the situation with the conveyancing lawyer who conducted the purchase.
