At what point can the exchange of contracts happen for residential conveyancing in Sprowston and am I required to attend the conveyancers branch?
If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Sprowston you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with supply a countrywide conveyancing service and provide just as diligent and professional a job for you when communicating with you by post or email. The executing of the contract is not when everything is set in stone. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the conveyancer to officially exchange when the time is right, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a long "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Sprowston)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Sprowston registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
