I am about to put an offer on a leasehold property in Wallasey. The selling agents say that it is standard for flats in Wallasey to have less than 75 years remaining. I am getting a loan with Bank of Ireland. Is this going to be acceptable if the lease has 72 years to go.

It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Wallasey concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.
Due to the encouragement of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Wallasey before instructing solicitors. I have been told that there is a flying freehold element to the property. My surveyor advised that some mortgage companies will refuse to grant a loan on this type of property.

If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Wallasey. Conveyancing will be smoother if you use a solicitor in Wallasey especially if they are acquainted with such properties in Wallasey.

As is the case with many service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be extremely useful or valuable. But there are lots of parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may suggest solicitors to choose. Sometimes the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there may be a commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the discretion to choose your preferred conveyancer. You need to be aware that most lenders have an approved list of conveyancers you must use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
