2 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Pocklington completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 residence 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 purchasing a new build house in Pocklington with a mortgage from Godiva Mortgages Ltd. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead. The property agent suggested that I not reveal to my conveyancer about the extras as it would jeopardize my loan with Godiva Mortgages Ltd. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

My brother is buying a studio flat in Pocklington. He was given a quote by the lawyer recommended by the estate agents totaling £1250 . It was fifteen years ago since I sold and purchased a property and it cost was £600. Have fees really escalated to that extent?
