You may wish to consider appointing your own Fulwood and Elston surveyor to carry out a survey or prepare a home buyers report on the property.

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.
