Is local best?

OK, so it's time to sell and / or purchase a property, and you need to choose a solicitor to undertake your conveyancing. The big question is: do you find a local solicitor, with a local office or do you use a national solicitor?

The obvious advantage to using a local solicitor is that you can meet face to face, but that's just about where the advantages end. There are no aspects to conveyancing that require you to be physically present during the process. Documents can be signed then faxed or put in the post. All other communication can be done by telephone or email. Most national conveyancers provide excellent case tracking facilities, and will keep you up-to-date with progress. The national conveyancers are highly experienced, and will usually cost far less than using a local firm.

What happens during the ‘Exchange of Contracts’ ?

Exchange of contracts (EoC) is the point of the legal process where a binding obligation on both parties is created - for the Seller to sell and the Buyer to buy the property.

At any time up until the EoC point, either party could withdraw from the process without any penalty other than monies they have spent on surveys, mortgage application fees and similar costs....

At EoC  stage a completion date is normally mutually agreed when the transfer can and will be finalised.

On the day of completion the monies are transferred between the parties and, the keys to the purchased property are handed over to the buyer.
