It has been 4 months following my purchase conveyancing in Lymm and Warburton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 asset 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.

I am purchasing my first flat in Lymm and Warburton with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to move on the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead.

It is unlikely the owners are driving this. If they want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Lymm and Warburton conveyancing firm - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
