five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Westgate on Sea 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?

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.
How does conveyancing in Westgate on Sea differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Westgate on Sea approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Westgate on Sea typically buy the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Westgate on Sea or who has acted in the same development.

Last May I purchased a leasehold house in Westgate on Sea. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. A critical element of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

Is anyone aware of any major works anticipated that will likely add a premium to the maintenance costs? Best to be warned if window replacement or some other significant cost is pending to be shared by the tenants and could well dramatically impact the level of the service costs or necessitate a specific invoice.

In this situation the leaseholders enjoy control and although a managing agent is usually retained if the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent is directed by the tenants.
