I have given 2 months notice to my existing landlord and have to vacate my let out flat in Bletchley by the end of next month. Conveyancing for my house purchase has just started. How realistic is it to complete in a couple of weeks as I wish to avoid having to move into short term accommodation?

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Bletchley took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
