3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Wareham completed. 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 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.
Am I right to be wary about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending a factory type conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Wareham conveyancing practice?
As with lots of service providers, often input from connections can be most helpful. Yet there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks might all recommend conveyancers to choose. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your own lawyer. You need to be aware that some lenders specify a panel list of law firms you have to use for the lender aspect of your conveyancing.

I have subsequently discovered that it's a leasehold rather than freehold. I am assuming that there are particular concerns buying a house with a leasehold title in Wareham. Conveyancing advisers have are about to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?

What is the name of the managing agents? Are any of leasehold owners in dispute over their service charge liability?
Myself and my partner have just had an offer agreed on a flat and had an appointment on Monday with HSBC for the mortgage. They warned me that when it comes to selecting a property lawyer that if they are not on their approved list of solicitors then we will have to pay out an extra fee of £200. This is is due to the fact that they will then have to instruct a property lawyer to act for them in addition to the one we appoint on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their invoice. I have asked HSBC to provide me with a list so I can seek estimates only from their approved conveyancers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a list online?
You should ask HSBC what their panel criteria is for a solicitor.Thereafter ask the conveyancing practitioner of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for HSBC previously. If the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with HSBC. Alternatively please make use of our search facility and we may be able to identify a conveyancer in Wareham on the approved list for HSBC.
