I hired a New Beckenham based firm for our conveyancing in New Beckenham today. Upon checking the Terms and Conditions I notewe are on the hook for charges even if the dealdoes not happen. Would I be best advised to instruct an on-line firm promising no move no charge conveyancing in New Beckenham?

The fact that your lawyer is on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

2 months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in New Beckenham took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

It is the figure included in the Transfer (the legal deed which transfers the asset 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.
