Part Exchange Offers - Any good?
Has anybody had any experience with the various 'Part Exchange' or 'Home Exchange' offers from new housing developers?

Land Registry / Ordnance Survey discrepency
We are about to complete on a house and our solicitor will
need to inform our lender that the title plan and ordnance survey maps are not perfectly
