I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (seven years built) in Suffolk. 95% of the flats have already been occupied. Is it really necessary to order local searches as part of conveyancing in Suffolk?

There are a large number of search providers who offer Suffolk conveyancing searches, as well direct from the local authority. These are known collectively as personal search companies and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. However, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must secure their data from the local authoritative source.

Leaving aside the complexities and merits of DIY conveyancing in Suffolk you will have to appoint a solicitor on your bank's conveyancing panel to look after their interests.

Furthermore there is minimal cost savings to be made in you doing conveyancing for yourself and another lawyer conducting the conveyancing for the lender.

It has been five months following my purchase conveyancing in Suffolk completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.
