It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Partington completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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.

I am the registered owner of a studio flat in Partington, conveyancing having been completed June 1997. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent properties in Partington with a long lease are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2084
You have 59 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a property in Partington which is to be marketed. The house is unregistered at HMLR and I'm told that some purchasers will insist that it is in place before they will move forward. What's the procedure for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems sensible to apply to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
