At what point can the exchange of contracts take place for purchase conveyancing in Ponthir and am I required to be at the lawyers office?

If you are in close proximity to our conveyancing solicitors in Ponthir you are welcome to come in to sign the paperwork. That being said, the firms we work with offer a national conveyancing service and provide just as comprehensive and professional a job for you when dealing with you by post or email.

Signing on the dotted line simply enables the firm to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which is ordinarily shortly after signing. The exchange process is is usually a five minute process, although where a lengthy "chain" is in the mix, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Ponthir)to be in the office at the appropriate time.

2 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Ponthir concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.

I was advised by three or four local selling agents in Ponthir to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to market your site over a competitor’s?

Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
