4 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Fallowfield concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 residence from one person to the other) and referred to as the 'consideration' or purchase price.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
