It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Tyldesley concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 premises 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.

• Choose a new lawyer to conduct the conveyancing, ensuring that they are on the Santander conveyancing panel.
• Appeal to your property lawyer to attempt to join the bank panel.
