It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Bagshot concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only go ahead if we use the agent's preferred lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Bagshot
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this request. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is likely to cause more damage than good. Contact the sellers directly and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your own,trusted Bagshot conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will earn the estate agent a referral fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
