Exchange question...

Got a question regarding exchange.

My solicitors are requesting original signed documents ( they are far away from me ) , post has been a nightmare and they have gone awol!

My question is; I am in touch with the vendors who want to complete ASAP. Could I not take the contract and TR1 to the vendors solicitors signed and then get the vendors to sign my contract and then for me to sign the other contract? Is this a stupid question to even ask my solicitor?
The vendors solicitors are near me so quite easy and the vendors are happy to do the above.

A lesson learned for next time, local solicitors required.

Thanks
Justin
