When can the exchange of contracts take place for domestic conveyancing in Allestree and do I need to attend the conveyancers branch?
Where you are local to one of the conveyancing solicitors in Allestree you are welcome to attend to sign documents. That being said, the lender approved solicitors we work with provide countrywide coverage for conveyancing and give just as diligent and professional a job for you when dealing with you electronically. The executing of the purchase agreement is not the critical part. Signing on the dotted line simply enables the solicitor to exchange contracts at the appropriate time, which will usually be very shortly after signing. The procedure is nowadays normally dealt with by telephone and can be very rapid, although where a long "chain" is in play, since the process requires the relevant party's solicitor (not necessarily a conveyancing solicitor in Allestree)to be in the office at the appropriate time.
My wife and I are buying a apartment in Allestree. It might be a silly question but how we can trust a solicitor? At some point we have to send our life savings into their account. What is the protection we have from them run away with our money?

We had appointed conveyancing lawyers locally in Allestree on the Leeds Building Society solicitor panel. They have just billed me an additional charge for dealing with the Leeds Building Society mortgage. Is this a supplemental conveyancing fee set by Leeds Building Society?
Provided it is contained in their Terms and Conditions or estimate then yes your lawyer is entitled to levy a fee for this. This fee is not set by Leeds Building Society but by your Allestree property lawyer. Numerous firms on the Leeds Building Society panel will quote an ‘acting for lender’ fee and others do not.
It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Allestree took place. I have checked the Land Registry website 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.
