three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Milton Keynes concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

How does conveyancing in Milton Keynes differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Milton Keynes approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Milton Keynes typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Milton Keynes or who has acted in the same development.

I'm purchasing a bungalow in Milton Keynes. I can find my conveyancer's company on the CLC list, but I can't find my conveyancer's name as listed on the regulator's website. Should I be concerned?

Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
