We are in the process of purchasing a apartment in Peak District. Conveyancing is not complete but we wish to have our purchase price a secret from sites such as Rightmove. what can I do to make sure this is not revealed?

HMLR by statute are obliged to disclose price sold information on a register of the title for residential properties nationwide including premises in Peak District. The Title Register is an open document, so the Land Registry would be breaching their statutory obligations if they did not grant access to the register.

In essence you can make a request of HMLR to withhold the price paid entry however the answer will be in the negative.
