It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Aldeburgh took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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.
I am purchasing a new build house in Aldeburgh with a loan from Accord Mortgages Ltd. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The property agent told me not reveal to my conveyancer about the side-deal as it will put at risk my loan with Accord Mortgages Ltd. Is this normal?.
