    "it's" title???.....

    Well, if the spelling police are unleashed, let's(!) free up the grammar patrol too!

    (I'd add a smiley, but my ancient tablet doesn't allow that! Maybe ... :)

    I was just entering into the spirit of the thread.

    A typo in your name, for a contract you signed, would not make it void. But I'd either ask for it to be amended before it was finalised (i.e., signed) or make the amendment myself in permanent ink.

    How ironic that a thread about a spelling mistake also contains one in it's title.
    Has the title been amended? I can't see anything wrong there.

    We had this and it delayed our exchange. Our Solicitor was not happy that the name on our contract did not match ID or our mortgage offer exactly and we had to wait 24 hours for it all to be sorted.

    Looks fine to me.
    It's someone else's fault.
