five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Eccles took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Eccles differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Eccles contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Eccles usually acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Eccles or who has acted in the same development.

We own a leasehold flat in Eccles. Conveyancing was finalised in last year. I have read on numerous consumer forums that I should not let the lease length get too short. Is this correct?
Eccles domestic long term leases are for a set period - normally ninety nine years when they commenced. However many flats in Eccles were built or converted 35 or more years ago and so these leases now have under 80 years remaining. That may seem like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies tend to require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years remaining to adequate security. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching seventy five years. To maximise the saleability of your property you should be considering whether to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. Furthermore strong financial reasons to taking action before the lease reaches even eighty years as when the lease is below 80 years the premium you have to pay to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
