It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Gilberdyke completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.

I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and found one close by in Gilberdyke I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Gilberdyke suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

My mother and father are having difficulties in finding their Gilberdyke property on the HMLR online search facility. They have a vague memory back in the 70’s when they purchased the property there were complications concerning the address not being recognised in some systems.

Nearly all premises in Gilberdyke should show up. Have you endevoured to search with just the postcode. Normally it will mention all the premises within that postcode. Assuming the property is registered it will be there with a title number. Where they bought 50 years ago it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address could still be revealed but with the title number shown 'na'. In this scenario you will need to track down the original title papers which might be with your parent’s mortgage company.
