It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Harwell concluded. 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Harwell is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?
Flying freeholds in Harwell are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Harwell you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Harwell may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
Do I need to be concerned that estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use a factory type conveyancing firm rather than a local Harwell conveyancing practice?
As with many service providers, often input from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are numerous players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all suggest conveyancers to instruct. On occasion these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are free to select your preferred conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of mortgage providers specify a panel list of law firms you must use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Harwell. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Harwell - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars 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.
