You can find lots of conveyancing outfits advertising what appear to be very low prices.

Completed the sale of my flat in Horsforth last December but the buyer keeps Skype messaging me to say her conveyancer is waiting to hear from mysolicitor. What are the post completion sale formalities now that I have sold?

After completion of your disposal your lawyer should send the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s solicitors. Depending on the transaction, your conveyancer should also confirm that the legal charge in favour of the lender has been paid off to the buyers lawyers. There is unlikely to be post completion formalities specific conveyancing in Horsforth.

It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Horsforth concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 premises 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.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
