At what point will exchange of contracts occur in purchase conveyancing in Tufnell Park and am I required to be at the conveyancers branch?
If you are round the corner to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Tufnell Park you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a national conveyancing service and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the sale agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract is just a prerequisite for the firm to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Tufnell Park)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

Assuming you have a registered title the information relating to your ownership will be recorded by the Land Registry with a Title Number. It is easy to conduct a search at the Land Registry, find your house and order up to date copies of the property title for less than a fiver.
