It is a dozen years since I purchased my property in Northolt. Conveyancing lawyers have recently been instructed on the sale but I can't locate the deeds. Is this a major issue?
Don’t worry too much. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your mortgage company or they could be in the possession of the conveyancers who acted in your purchase. Secondly the likelihood is that the land will be recorded at the land registry and you will be able to establish that you own the property by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. Nearly all conveyancing in Northolt involves registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it is more of a problem but is resolvable.
four months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Northolt took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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.
