It is 10 years ago since I bought my property in Feltwell. Conveyancing solicitors have now been instructed on the sale but I can't track down my deeds. Is this a major issue?
You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a possibility that the deeds will be retained by the lender or they could still be with the lawyers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the property will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers obtaining up to date copy of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Feltwell involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is resolvable.
My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Feltwell. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Birmingham Midshires approved list of lawyers. Could you advise?

three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Feltwell concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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.
