In what way does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Bottesford? Is this really necessary?
It is indeed that case that these requests have nothing to do with conveyancing in Bottesford.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Bottesford took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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.
