I have an AIP. The lender mentioned the home loan came with free conveyancing. Is the implication that I have to instruct their panel conveyancer as I would prefer to appoint a specialised conveyancing solicitor in Northolt?

3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Northolt took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.
