When does exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Lower Clapton and am I required to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are local to our conveyancing solicitors in Lower Clapton you are invited in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the law practices we recommend supply a national conveyancing service and give just as detailed and professional a job for you when communicating with you electronically. The executing of the sale agreement is not the important part. A signed contract simply enables the firm to address the formalities at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Lower Clapton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.
