3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Hornchurch completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 asset 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 - agreed a price, but the property agent told us that the seller will only issue a contract if we use their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’.
