five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Kirkstall took place. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 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.
How does conveyancing in Kirkstall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Kirkstall contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because new home sellers in Kirkstall usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Kirkstall or who has acted in the same development.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one near me in Kirkstall I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Kirkstall suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

At last I have had an offer on an maisonette in Kirkstall agreed to, the seller does however have an associated purchase. The sellers have submitted an offer on a flat, but it’s not been accepted yet, and are looking at other apartments booked. I have selected a nearby conveyancing lawyer in Kirkstall. What do I do now? At what stage do I apply for the mortgage with Co-operative?
It is understandable to have apprehensions where there is an associated chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then valuation, Kirkstall conveyancing search costs, etc). First, you must ensure that your property lawyer is on the Co-operative approved list. As to the subsequent phase this very much depends on the circumstances of your case, desire for the property and on the state of the market. During a rising market the majority of buyers would apply for a home loan with Co-operative and arrange for the survey and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to press on with searches.
