Here is link to the Land Registry online guidance around what to do when a property owner dies. This will help you to understand the registration process behind changing the details re the registered title. in your case it would appear that you are effectively purchasing the property from the estate.

What does a local search reveal concerning the property my wife and I purchasing in Homerton?

Homerton conveyancing often commences with the ordering local authority searches directly from your local Authority or through a personal search organisations for example Searches UK The local search is essential in every Homerton conveyancing purchase; that is if you wish to avoid any unpleasant once you have moved into your property.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Homerton completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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 have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Homerton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Homerton for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

I am using a search engine for the term conveyancing in Homerton it reveals numerous conveyancersin the vicinity. With so much choice what is the best way to find the right conveyancer for purchase transaction?

The ideal method of finding the right conveyancer is through a trusted testimonial, so ask colleagues and those you trust who have bought a property in Homerton or a reputable estate agent or financial adviser. Fees for conveyancing in Homerton vary, so it's sensible to request at least four fee estimates from different solicitors. Dont forget to clarify that the fees are fixed.
