My wife and I purchasing a end of terrace house in Waddington. The intention is to carry out an extension to the side at the house.Will legal investigations on the property involve investigations to see if these alterations are permitted?
Your property lawyer will review the deeds as conveyancing in Waddington will sometimes identify restrictions in the title documents which restrict categories of alterations or require the permission of another owner. Certain works call for local authority planning consent and approval under the building regulations. Certain areas are designated conservation areas and special planning restrictions apply which often prevent or impact extensions.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Skipton. I assume I don't need a Waddington solicitor on the Skipton panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your Skipton mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Skipton mortgage from the register. Skipton, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where Skipton has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- Skipton has instructed the Land Registry to do so
I recently had an offer agreed on a house in Waddington. My mortgage broker pressured me to appoint their lawyer. I paid an upfront payment of £200. A few days later, the conveyancer called me to say that they were not on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Am I right in thinking that I should be due a refund?
You should be able to recover this from the law firm if they were not on the Coventry BS panel. They should have asked at the outset which lender you were obtaining a mortgage with. An important lesson to readers of this site is to check that the lawyers are on the appropriate lender panel.
It has been four months following my purchase conveyancing in Waddington concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £160,000. Why the discrepancy?

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 only have 62 years unexpired on my lease in Waddington. I now wish to extend my lease but my freeholder is can not be found. What are my options?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice.
