Buying a flat or house question:
On a house purchase, is it normal practice to make corrections, such as the price, to the Contract to be signed, without initialling or providing an official stamp, to show who made the correction? I would have expected a genuine, correctly typed document to sign.

Yes that is normal practice.
It is actually the transfer (form TR1) which is the document that has to be in clean form.
However, if you are not comfortable signing an amended copy, there is nothing stopping you asking your solicitor to send a copy incoporating the amendments to you. It may however slow the transaction whilst this is prepared and reissued.
