It is 10 years ago since I acquired my home in Griffithstown. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been appointed on the sale but I can't locate my title documents. Is this a problem?
You need not be too concerned. First the deeds may be with your mortgage company or they may still be with the lawyers who handled your purchase. Secondly in all probability the land will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing solicitors acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Griffithstown relates to registered property but in the unlikely event that your property is not registered it is more problematic but is resolvable.
4 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Griffithstown took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.

It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates.
