My previous lawyer has sent a quote for £1150 for leasehold conveyancing in Turnpike Lane. I’m hoping to downsize from a purpose built property for £175,000. Is this over the top? Is it above what I should be paying for conveyancing in Turnpike Lane?

It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Turnpike Lane completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one close by in Turnpike Lane I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Turnpike Lane in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.

My husband and I are FTB’s - had an offer accepted, but the property agent advised that the vendor will only issue a contract if we appoint their recommended conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Turnpike Lane
