At what point does exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Bewdley and am I required to be at the solicitors office?

That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with offer a nationwide conveyancing service and give as equally detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you digitally. The signing of the contract is not the important part. Signing on the dotted line is necessary for the solicitor to address the formalities when the time is right, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The procedure is is usually a five minute process, although where an extended "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Bewdley)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

It has been 3 months since my purchase conveyancing in Bewdley took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. Why the discrepancy?
The price paid figure is taken from the application to register the purchase. It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price. You can report an error in the price paid figure using the LR online form. In most cases errors result from typos so at first glance the figure. Do report it so they can double check and advise.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bewdley is the location of the property. Can you offer any opinion?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Bewdley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bewdley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
