Having been referred to your organisation we were about to appoint conveyancing solicitor in West Ealing listed by you but have come across some other quotes on the internet appear less expensive – how come?
There are many firms of solicitors marketing theoretically looks to be very low prices.

Many of them list a cheap quote to grab your attention but conceal extra fees in the fine print..
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for stalling in West Ealing house deals. Is this right?

3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in West Ealing completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.
