It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Gipsy Hill took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.

My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Gipsy Hill
It is unlikely the sellers are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and make the point that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you have nothing to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to instruct your preferred Gipsy Hill conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthe ones that will provide the estate agent a commission or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by senior management.
I have checked your search tool I can't find the lawyer I was hoping to instruct as being on the bank conveyancing panel. My lawyer has said that they are on the bank approved panel. How can I be sure given that they are not listed on your directory?

Law firms are listing on a daily basis and it is probably the case that your lawyer is on the mortgage company conveyancing lawyer and you should probably take them at their word. Please do feel free to suggest that they completing their listing on our site as it would only cost them £1 a month to list themselves as being on the lender solicitor panel.
