It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Summertown completed. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 residence 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 usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
Myself and my fiance have just had an offer accepted on a flat and had meeting on Friday with HSBC for the mortgage. They advised us that when it comes to appointing a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved list of solicitors then we will be subject to an an additional fee of £250+. This is because they will then have to select a solicitor to act on their behalf in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their fees. I have asked HSBC to provide me with a list so I can request estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is their an easier way of going about this?
You can enquire of HSBC what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the conveyancer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on mortgages for HSBC previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Another option is to use our search tool and we may be able to find you a conveyancer in Summertown on the panel for HSBC.
