Solicitor drafting contract - has spelling mistakes

[LarryUnderwood]

Is it normal for solicitors to send over draft documents they be been paid to prepare with typos/spelling mistakes? My BiL has asked me to proofread new contracts he's got back from his solicitor which he paid them to draft as they have typos in. I don't mind doing it, but is it normal practice? I would have expected them to proofread their own work...

The problem here is the spelling mistakes are the ones you have spotted. What else is lurking waiting to emerge ?

Lots of lazy shit solicitors about.

This is unacceptable

Thank you, yeah he's really pissed off. I'll proofread the docs and tell him to complain.

Should phone and request a call from the partner. This happened to me when drafting parents will. Glaring errors including names and postcodes -shocking. I complained and partner phoned back to apologise and sort it. We we're also given a large discount.

When we bought our current house, DH and I both went through the contracts with a fine tooth comb after I spotted a couple of glaring errors. We used a local solicitor recommended by the Estate Agent but in our previous house purchase we used a Licensed Conveyancer who was excellent and really on the ball.
