You should compare pricing. Make use of our search tool on this site. The estimates seem to be different but the service one can expect are distinct between solicitors as is the case with the vast majority of professional services.
It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Blythe Bridge concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 residence 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.

Back In 2007, I bought a leasehold flat in Blythe Bridge. Conveyancing and HSBC Bank mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing practitioner in Blythe Bridge who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to incur the fees of a Blythe Bridge conveyancing solicitor 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 rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
I own a leasehold flat in Blythe Bridge, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Blythe Bridge with a long lease are worth £175,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2083
With 58 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £23,800 and £27,400 plus legals.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
