four months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 property 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 Llanfairpwllgwyngyll differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll usually acquire the land, 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 conveyancers 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 Llanfairpwllgwyngyll or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Llanfairpwllgwyngyll I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease.

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted.

You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
