It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Aldermanbury completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.

We're first time buyers - agreed a price, but the estate agent advised that the owners will only go ahead if we instruct the agent's preferred solicitors as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer accustomed to conveyancing in Aldermanbury
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this requirement. Should the seller want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to use your preferred Aldermanbury conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by head office.
I’m about to sell my basement apartment in Aldermanbury. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just had a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – what should I do?
It best that you clear the maintenance contribution as you normally would as all ground rent and maintenance payments should be allotted on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
