five months have elapsed since my purchase conveyancing in Mexborough and Swinton completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 am looking for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Mexborough and Swinton I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease.

Should you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice.

Should one remove a departed person's details from the title register for a property in Mexborough and Swinton?
If a Mexborough and Swinton property is jointly owned and one of the owners dies, their name will not immediately be removed from the Land Registry title. It is not necessary to remove their name as in the event of a sale your lawyer would just be asked to evidence as to the reason the other proprietor is not included in the conveyance, such as the probate documents.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing more straight forward in the future you may apply to have the deceased party erased from the title by submitting an application to the land registry with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
