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.

There is not much else in Baldock suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.

Much as we are happy to recommend a Baldock conveyancing lawyer the best way to choose a conveyancing practitioner is to have guidance from friends or relatives who have actually used the firm you're are thinking of instructing.
