One must instruct a conveyancing practitioner to complete the legal work required when you need a mortgage to purchase your home. They will carry out all the relevant due diligence on the property, make sure that you will be properly registered as the owner and ensure that all the required mortgage paperwork is dealt with.

five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Tonyrefail took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 asset 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.
