It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the premises 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.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint the agent's recommended solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local solicitor used to conveyancing in Chalk Farm

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. Should the seller desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the vendors directly and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Chalk Farm conveyancing solicitors - rather thanthose that will earn the estate agent a kickback or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by senior management.
