What
is the "Exchange of Contracts"?
The "Exchange of Contracts"
is the point of no return, when the signed contracts are officially exchanged
between the two solicitors, subject to the following:
-
agreed by both parties
-
all necessary searches have
been made
-
any outstanding enquiries
have been addressed and resolved
-
written mortgage offer, if
applicable, has been agreed
-
the deposit (usually between
5% to 10%) is available and paid over at this time
back
to questions
What
are searches for?
Searches are made to find
out any important information affecting the property. For example the Local
Authority Search may reveal which roads are maintained by the local Council,
or whether any planning permission is available on the land.
back
to questions
What
about fixtures and fittings?
The seller of a property
has to complete a list detailing which fixtures and fittings are included
or excluded in the sale price.
back
to questions
How
long does it all take?
This depends on the date
the contracts are exchanged. It is difficult to say how long a sale or
purchase will take and each case is individual - it can take a matter of
days if the property is vacant and the transaction is for cash, but chains
may take longer to resolve.
back
to questions
When
are the keys passed on?
On completion day, the keys
(passed from seller to the estate agents) are handed over in exchange for
the purchase money. However, special arrangements can be made to suit you
- it is important to get these details agreed.
