four months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Frogmore took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 residence 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.

What advice can you give us when it comes to finding a Frogmore conveyancing firm to deal with our lease extension?

When appointing a property lawyer for your lease extension (regardless if they are a Frogmore conveyancing firm) it is most important that they be familiar with the legislation and specialises in this area of work.

I own a leasehold flat in Frogmore, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2004. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Comparable flats in Frogmore with over 90 years remaining are worth £255,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2098

You have 73 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £8,600 and £9,800 as well as professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
