Just contacted my conveyancing solicitor in Sands End who completed the legal work two years ago requesting a conveyancing costs illustration based on an identical type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Britannia. It looks as though am now being quoted double. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative firm of conveyancing solicitor?
The estimate does seem a little on the high side. Where you are happy to spend time scrutinising quotes you could get the conveyancing a bit cheaper by as much as a hundred pounds.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Sands End concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 residence 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.
