2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Kettering concluded. 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.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Kettering is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Kettering are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Kettering you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Kettering 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 premises.

I'm remortgaging my existing house to a BTL loan with National Westminster Bank and I will use the ballance of the raised equity as a down payment on another house. The area we are looking at is Kettering. Will your lawyers be able to act for both sets of banks and tie in the two deals?

Make use of our search tool on this site to ensure that the conveyancers are approved by both banks. Assuming that they are your conveyancer will be able to connect the two conveyancing matters but you should have a chat with you conveyancer and make clear your expectations and requirements.
