At what point does exchange of contracts occur in domestic conveyancing in Brading and am I required to attend the conveyancers office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Brading you are welcome to come in to sign documents.

The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Brading)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

I am currently in the process of buying my council flat in Brading. I have a mortgage agreed with Nottingham. Conveyancing is new to me. Can I proceed without a solicitor easily? I think we can but we keep being told I should have one. Any advice?

One of which is to verify what plans the Council have for repairs and refurbishment for the next five years. Many leaseholders have been stung for contributions of thousands of pounds. In any event, if you are getting a mortgage with Nottingham, you will need to appoint a solicitor on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
