It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Didsbury took place. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price.

My wife and I are disposing of a Didsbury ground floor flat we inherited 5 years ago in 2012. I have over 15 years conveyancing experience and, although retired, see no reason not to undertake the legal work.
