It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Kesgrave concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 residence 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.
I am purchasing my first flat in Kesgrave with a loan from Santander. The sellers refused to move on the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.
Should I be suspicious by third parties that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a web based conveyancing firm rather than a local Kesgrave conveyancing firm?
As with many service providers, often recommendations from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Nevertheless there are numerous parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all recommend solicitors to appoint. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying commercial relationship behind the recommendation. You are free to appoint your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that most mortgage providers specify a panel list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender aspect of your house move.
