I have given 2 months notice to my current landlord and must vacate my rented apartment in Langford by the end of next month. Conveyancing on my purchase is progressing. Is it possible to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

Do check but the chances are that allocate you one of their panel solicitors where you want the "fee-free" incentive. Call the bank and check if they make available a cash alternative. It is not unheard for a lender to give a £250 cashback as an alternative in which case you could put that amount towards the cost for your conveyancing solicitor near Langford.
3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Langford completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 premises 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.
