At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Canvey Island and am I required to be at the solicitors office?

Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Canvey Island you are welcome to attend to sign the paperwork.

The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Canvey Island)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
