Finally the sale completed on my house in Essington last June but our buyer keeps e-mailing every few hours complaining that her solicitor needs to hear from mine. What should my lawyer have done following completion?

three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Essington took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.
