The exchange

When your solicitor has finished their part and we’ve both agreed on the contracts this is when you’ll be asked to sign them. This stage is quite a big deal, as this is when you become legally committed to buying the property. But it’s a big deal in the best way and is nothing to worry about, your solicitor will have checked everything necessary and won’t ask you to sign anything until they are sure everything is how it is meant to be from a legal point of view. Remember when we said that a solicitor will an integral part of your home buying journey – this is why, you don’t have to worry about the ins and outs.

When you’ve signed the contracts we can get straight on to finalising the sale of your new home. This normally happens six to eight weeks after you’ve reserved the home and once you’ve exchanged we’ll make sure to give you a date for completion.
