five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Blackfriars concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 property 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.
How does conveyancing in Blackfriars differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Blackfriars approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Blackfriars usually purchase the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Blackfriars or who has acted in the same development.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Blackfriars I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blackfriars in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you need a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

I have just started marketing my ground floor flat in Blackfriars.Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon but I have recently had a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the invoice as usual because all rents and service charges should be apportionedas part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment 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. This will smooth the conveyancing process
