Exchanging contracts

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Exchanging contracts (Real Estate) - Once your solicitor has carried out all necessary searches and the contract terms have been agreed, the contracts can be exchanged. Once each party has signed the contracts and they have been exchanged, they are binding.

The contracts will include a completion date, which is the date that the property becomes yours. At exchange of contracts any deposit needed has to be paid. At exchange of contracts you need to arrange buildings insurance so that the property is insured from that day. Usually, if you have one, your present insurer will cover this new property free of increased premium until the completion date.
