It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Pentonville completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Pentonville I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Pentonville in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
Am I right to be suspicious by third parties that I am dealing with are recommending a national conveyancing firm rather than a High Street Pentonville conveyancing firm?
As with lots of professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are numerous parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all put forward solicitors to select. On occasion the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there might be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that the majority of lenders operate an approved list of conveyancers you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your conveyancing.

I work for a busy estate agent office in Pentonville where we see a number of leasehold sales jeopardised due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Pentonville conveyancing firms. Could you confirm whether the seller of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
We have reached the end of our tether in trying to purchase the freehold in Pentonville. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Pentonville conveyancing firm who can help.
