Your conveyancer should check the registered title as conveyancing in Crediton can sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of works or require the consent of another owner.

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Crediton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.
