three months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Godshill completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.

Two months into buying a property in Godshill. Conveyancing lawyer has phoned to say the property is "Leasehold". Will this likely impact the marketability of the house?
Godshill conveyancing does not ordinarily involve leasehold houses. The key factor here is the length of lease and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the saleability too much.
On the flip side, if it's, say, 50 years it will have a adverse effect on the value, and most likely wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease provided to your conveyancing practitioner.
