three months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Blackwall took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 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 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 decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Blackwall ahead of retaining conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the house. Our surveyor advised that some lenders tend refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

How does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial premises in Blackwall and how can you help?
The 1954 Act affords protection to commercial leaseholders, giving them the legal entitlement to apply to court for a continuation of occupancy when the lease reaches an end. There are certain specified grounds where a landlord can refuse a lease renewal and the rules are complex.

My wife and I may need to sub-let our Blackwall basement flat temporarily due to taking a sabbatical. We used a Blackwall conveyancing firm in 2003 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Blackwall do contain a provision to say that subletting is only permitted with prior consent from the landlord. The landlord cannot unreasonably refuse but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
