Just been in touch with my conveyancing lawyer in Llanarth and Oakford who conducted the legals two years ago and wanted a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a mortgage from The Mortgage Works. I am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?

three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Llanarth and Oakford concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 property 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.
