I am purchasing a property for cash in Plymouth. I have lived for the previous twelve years in Plymouth. Conveyancing searches are a lot of money. As I have knowledge of the road and vicinity very well must I have all the conveyancing searches?

If you not getting a mortgage, then the vast majority of the Plymouth conveyancing searches are optional. Your lawyer will 'advise', no-doubt strongly, that you should have searches carried out, but he is duty bound to take that path of advice. One thing to bear in mind; if you are intend to sell the house at a future date, it could be of interest to your future purchaser what the searches contain.

Completed the sale of my flat in Plymouth last March but my buyer keeps texting daily complaining that their conveyancer is waiting to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

Following your disposal your solicitor should send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. Where relevant, your conveyancer must also send confirmation that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers conveyancers. There is unlikely to be post completion procedures specific conveyancing in Plymouth.

It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Plymouth took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 asset 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 have been on the look out for a flat up to £245,000 and found one near me in Plymouth I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Plymouth in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a home loan the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be an issue. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
