It is is a decade since I purchased my house in Buckfastleigh. Conveyancing solicitors have recently been retained on the sale but I am unable to track down the deeds. Will this cause complications?
You need not be too concerned. First there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they could be in the possession of the lawyers who oversaw your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing solicitors obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Almost all conveyancing in Buckfastleigh relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.

I take this to mean that there will be no additional fee if the solicitor is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel. I wanted to make sure it means there will be no additional fees for dealing with the mortgage.
They are simply saying that the cost for acting for the lender is included in the fee being quoted. It is worth you checking that the Buckfastleigh lawyer is on the Nottingham conveyancing panel.
three months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Buckfastleigh took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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.
