When can the exchange of contracts happen for purchase conveyancing in Park Royal and do I need to attend the solicitors office?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Park Royal you are invited in to sign contracts. That being said, the firms we recommend provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and provide as equally diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email. The signing of the purchase agreement is not when everything is set in stone. A signed contract simply enables the conveyancer to officially exchange at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The exchange process is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Park Royal)to be in the office available at the end of the phone to exchange contracts.

four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Park Royal concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 asset 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.
