2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Midhurst concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 residence 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 purchasing my first flat in Midhurst benefiting from help to buy. The builders refused to move on the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead. The sale representative suggested that I not disclose to my conveyancer about this side-deal as it would adversely affect my loan with Skipton Building Society. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I decided to have a survey done on a property in Midhurst prior to appointing conveyancers. I have been advised that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. My surveyor has said that some lenders will refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold premises.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Midhurst.
