2 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Bilborough took place. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 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.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Bilborough I like with amenity areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Bilborough for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Bilborough. Conveyancing and Barnsley Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1994. The conveyancing solicitor in Bilborough who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?

There is no need to incur the fees of a Bilborough conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that in any event, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Most Bilborough leasehold flats will incur a service bill for maintenance of the building levied by the freeholder. Should you acquire the property you will have to meet this amount, usually periodically throughout the year. This can be anything from two or three hundred pounds to thousands of pounds for large purpose-built buildings. In all probability there will be a rentcharge to be met yearly, ordinarily this is not a significant figure, say around £50-£100 but you should to check it because occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds. The prefered form of lease arrangement is if the freehold interest is owned by the leaseholders.
