The East Preston conveyancing firm handling our East Preston conveyancing has uncovered a difference between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is revealed within the title deeds. My lawyer has advised that he must check that the lender is OK with this discrepancy and is still content to lend. Is my solicitor’s approach correct?

4 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in East Preston concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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.
Harry (my fiance) and I may need to sub-let our East Preston basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We instructed a East Preston conveyancing practice in 2002 but they have closed and we did not think at the time seek any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your last East Preston conveyancing lawyer is not around you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the apartment. The rule is that if the lease is non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you need to seek permission from your landlord or some other party in advance of subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet without prior permission. The consent should not be unreasonably turned down. If the lease prohibits you from subletting the property you will need to ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
