Please help - my lawyer says that restrictive coveneant insurance is necessary on my purchase. What is the typical level of cover needed for conveyancing in Chatteris?
The right level of restrictive coveneant indemnity insurance should be dictated by who who your lender is. It would differ for example between Birmingham Midshires and The Royal Bank of Scotland. Conveyancing solicitors as opposed to members of the public take out such insurances.
When it comes to lenders such as TSB, do Chatteris solicitors face a fee to be on the list of approved solicitors?
We are unaware of any bank fees to register on their list of approved firms, although some do levy an administration charge to deal with the processing of the conveyancing panel application.

It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to incur costs prematurely (home loan application is approx £1k, then survey, Chatteris conveyancing search charges, etc).

2 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Chatteris completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 property 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.
