I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a relatively new development (6 years built) in Sedbergh. The vast majority the flats have already been disposed of. Is it really necessary to order conveyancing searches for my conveyancing in Sedbergh?

These are usually referred to as personal search providers due to them carrying out, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their information from the local authority.
Are the BSA intent on creating a searchable register to to identify law firms on the conveyancing panel for instance in Sedbergh?
LenderPanel has not been advised of any intention on the part of the BSA to promote such a search facility.

three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Sedbergh took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.
As co-executor for the will of my father I am selling a property in Newport but reside in Sedbergh. My solicitor (who is 260 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec prior to completion. Can you recommend a conveyancing lawyer in Sedbergh who can attest this legal document for me?
Technically speaking you are unlikely to need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Ordinarily or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are Sedbergh based
