four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Caversham completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.
I'm buying my first flat in Caversham with the aid of help to buy. The builders would not budge the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead.

Should I use a Caversham conveyancing solicitor who is local to the property I am hoping to buy? An old friend can execute the legal work however her office is 400kilometers drive away.

They will also have local intelligence which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job.
