It has been three months since my purchase conveyancing in Little Mill completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £200,000 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.
How does conveyancing in Little Mill differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Little Mill approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because builders in Little Mill usually purchase the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Little Mill or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Little Mill I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Little Mill suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this.
