four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Milnrow completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for remortgage conveyancing in Milnrow. I've stumble across a web site which looks to be the perfect answer If it is possible to get all formalities done via phone that would be ideal. Do I need to be wary? What should out be looking out for?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?

Our conveyancer has advised that he intends to complete and exchange simultaneously on our sale of a £275,000 maisonette in Milnrow in just under a week. The managing agents has quoted £420 for Landlord’s certificate, building insurance schedule and previous years service charge statements. Is the landlord entitled to charge exorbitant fees for a flat conveyance in Milnrow?

Milnrow conveyancing on leasehold apartments usually involves the purchaser’s conveyancer sending questions for the landlord to answer. Although the landlord is not legally bound to answer these enquiries the majority will be content to assist. They may charge a reasonable administration fee for answering enquiries or supplying documentation. There is no upper cap for such fees. The average fee for the information that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it exceeds £800. The administration charge required by the landlord must be sent together with a summary of entitlements and obligations in relation to administration charges, otherwise the charge is technically not due. Reality however dictates that one has no choice but to pay whatever is requested of you should you wish to complete the sale of your home.

I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Milnrow, conveyancing having been completed July 2011. How much will my lease extension cost? Equivalent properties in Milnrow with over 90 years remaining are worth £186,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2077

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

My fiance and I are purchasing a 2 room apartmentin Milnrow with a residential mortgage from a mortgage company. We would like to retain our solicitor in Milnrow however our lender says he's not on their "panel". Apparently we need to choose one of the our lender panel firms or keep our Milnrow conveyancer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We feel as though this is unjust; is there anything we can do?

No, not really. The lender home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the mortgage company's conveyancing panel. Until recently, most banks had open panels, including almost all conveyancing solicitors in Milnrow : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. Another option that might be available is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
