I am close to exchanging contracts on the sale of our property in Tickhill and according to the buyers it appears that there is a possibility that the property was constructed land that was not decontaminated. A high street Tickhill conveyancer would know this is not the case.

Having lived in Tickhill for three years we know that this is a non issue. Do we get in touch with our local Authority to get clarification need.

3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Tickhill 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.
