It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Somerset completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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.

In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 affect my commercial offices in Somerset and how can you help?

The particular law that you refer to gives a safeguard to commercial leaseholders, granting the legal entitlement to make a request to court for a new lease and remain in occupation when the lease comes to an end. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complicated.

We're new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the agent has warned us that the vendor will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Somerset

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is is going to put the whole deal at risk. Contact the owners directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are motivated buyers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances arranged © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you will continue to instruct your preferred Somerset conveyancing lawyers - rather thanthose that will give the estate agent a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets demanded by corporate headquarters.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Somerset. Before diving in I would like to find out the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Somerset - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I bought a ground floor flat in Somerset, conveyancing having been completed half a dozen years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar flats in Somerset with an extended lease are worth £181,000. The ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease ends on 21st October 2075

You have 50 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £32,300 and £37,400 as well as legals.

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 detailed investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
