When
all the conveyancing
(legal side) has been dealt with, your solicitor (or Licenced
Conveyancer) will send you various documents to sign.
This
is what you've been waiting for. You're finally doing the deal - which is called
Exchanging Contracts, and agreeing a Completion Date,
which is when the property becomes yours.
You'll
most probably have to pay a deposit (usually 10% of the house's value) through
your solicitor. If you pull out after this point you will lose the deposit.
You
must ensure that the buildings insurance and any other
insurance is in place for the completion
date ie that you are properly covered.
Completion
This
is when the property becomes yours.
On
the agreed Completion Date the two sides' solicitors swop the keys and the deposit.
