Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?

Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but he has a professional duty to do this. One thing to take into account; if you are going to sell the house at a future date, it could be of relevance to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes properties with functional issues can still show up detrimental search results. A good conveyancing solicitor in Caerleon will provide you some practical guidance concerning this.

three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Caerleon completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

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.
