When does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Stamfordham and do I need to be at the lawyers office?

If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Stamfordham you are invited in to sign the paperwork. However, the firms we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give 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. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to address the formalities 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 long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Stamfordham)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.
