When will exchange of contracts occur in residential conveyancing in Canton and am I required to be at the lawyers branch?
Where you are near to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Canton you are welcome to come in to sign contracts. That being said, the law practices we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The signing of the contract is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Canton)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

A local conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the buyers are using a web based conveyancing outfit rather than a conveyancing solicitor in Canton. We have lived in Canton for three years we know of no issue. Is it a good idea to contact our local Authority to get confirmation that there is no issue.
It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. Are they able to advise? You must enquire of your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out health insurance to cover that same illness)
