How Contracts for Sale were signed in the past
In the past, signing contracts to buy or sell a house in NSW with a solicitor or conveyancer in Newcastle was difficult.
It usually meant:
- Taking time off work
- Driving to the conveyancer’s office
- Waiting till they were ready to see you
- Sitting in their office and signing the contract, which took around 10 minutes.
- Drive home
All this took time and effort.
There are no limits as to where you can sign. As long as you have:
- Internet access; and
- A device to view your emails
If you have these, you’ll be able to sign one of our contracts.
