My family solicitor has given a fee estimate £1700 for no sale no fee conveyancing in Enderby. I am selling a purpose built detached home for £125,000. This seems expensive. Is it in excess of what I should be paying for conveyancing in Enderby?

It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Enderby concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 premises 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.
I'm buying my first flat in Enderby benefiting from help to buy. The developers would not move on the amount so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of additionals instead. The sale representative told me not inform my solicitor about the deal as it may affect my loan with The Mortgage Works. Should I keep quiet?.

I am an executor of my recently deceased mum’s Will, with a house in Enderby which is to be sold. The property has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm told that many buyers solicitors will insist that it is in place before they will move forward. What's the mechanism for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems advisable to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
