We are about to complete buying a property in Wymondham but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have managed to agree recompense from the current proprietors in the sum of £3k by way of a adjustment in the price. This was going to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but Co-operative will not agree to this. Why were they approached?
Your property lawyer being on the Co-operative approved list is obliged to disclose to Co-operative of any amendments to the sale price. If you prohibit your solicitor to disclose the reduction to Co-operative then they would have to discontinue acting for you. In addition, Co-operative and you would have to appoint a new property lawyer for your conveyancing in Wymondham.
Do I need to attend the offices of the solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will instruct a firm who offer conveyancing in Wymondham so that I can attend their offices if necessary.

It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Wymondham completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. 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 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.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Wymondham I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Wymondham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Wymondham. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Wymondham - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
