At what point will exchange of contracts take place for residential conveyancing in Edingale and do I need to attend the lawyers office?
If you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Edingale you are welcome to come in to sign documents. That being said, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide just as detailed and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the contract is not the point of no return. A signed contract is necessary for the conveyancer to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where an extended "chain" is involved, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Edingale)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Edingale completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 property 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.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Edingale. Before diving in I would like to find out the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Edingale - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
