I can't travel far from Neston. I would like to know the logic why all Neston aren't automatically on all lender panels?

It has been four months since my purchase conveyancing in Neston concluded. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £180,000. 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 property 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.

I am the registered owner of a leasehold flat in Neston, conveyancing having been completed 3 years ago. Can you give me give me an indication of the likely cost of a lease extension? Comparable flats in Neston with an extended lease are worth £165,000. The ground rent is £45 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 50
With 50 years unexpired the likely cost is going to span between £36,100 and £41,800 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do 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 should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
