4 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Great Coates concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 asset 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.

Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.

The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one round the corner in Great Coates I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Great Coates suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Great Coates can be avoided where you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and request that they start to put together the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ lawyers. If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Great Coates leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such changes. Should you dont have the approvals in place you should not contact the landlord without checking with your lawyer in the first instance. If you have the benefit of shareholding in the freehold, you should make sure that you have the original share document. Arranging a re-issued share certificate can be a time consuming formality and slows down many a Great Coates home move. If a duplicate share certificate is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this as soon as possible. A minority of Great Coates leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference will need to confirm that the buyers are able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors.
