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.

New build sellers have put forward a conveyancing practitioner and I've obtained an estimate from them. It's nearly £300 less expensive than my local Holborn lawyer. Should I use them?

Builders often have lists of lawyers who are quick and who know the seller’s documentation and conveyancer. Plenty of developers offer an incentive to select a preferred conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased charges can be avoided and a developer won't put forward a conveyancing warehouse and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they need an exchange within a tight deadline. The argument for not agreeing to use the recommended lawyer is that they may be hesitant to 'push' your interests at the risk of upsetting the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the situation you should stick with your high street Holborn conveyancer.
