It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Shifnal concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Shifnal I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it's only got 52 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Shifnal suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term may be problematic. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.
We have chosen a Shifnal conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (FTB’s) and have spotted in the engagement letter that they are not covered by the FCA. Am I right to be worried or is that the norm with solicitor?
We can't see why they should be. Most conveyancing practitioner don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the SRA, who have strict obligations in place on amounts held on client account.
