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

As is the case with lots of professional services, often recommendations from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all recommend lawyers to retain. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to choose your own conveyancer. Don't forget that most banks have an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.
