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.
I am buying my first flat in Lutterworth benefiting from help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of additionals instead.

- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lutterworth can be bypassed if you get in touch lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you hold the original share certificate. Organising a replacement share certificate is often a lengthy process and delays many a Lutterworth conveyancing transaction. If a new share certificate is required, you should approach the company officers or managing agents (if relevant) for this as soon as possible.

The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a property where a dispute is unsettled.

It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as over rather than ongoing. You believe that you know the number of years left on your lease but it would be wise to double-check by asking your conveyancers.
