3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Fenton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Fenton with the aid of help to buy. The developers refused to budge the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of fixtures and fittings instead. The property agent suggested that I not inform my lawyer about the side-deal as it could put at risk my loan with Virgin Money. Should I keep quiet?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am using a search engine for the words conveyancing in Fenton it shows results of numerous conveyancersin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the suitable solicitor for purchase transaction?

The ideal way of finding a suitable conveyancer is through a personal testimonial, so enquire of colleagues and relatives who have bought a property in Fenton or the reputable estate agent or financial adviser.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Fenton. Before I get started I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

If the lease is registered - and almost all are in Fenton - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I own a ground floor flat in Fenton, conveyancing was carried out in 2006. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Corresponding flats in Fenton with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2087

With only 61 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £18,100 and £20,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs without more detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
