My Belsize Park lawyer has discovered an inconsistency between the surveyor’s assumptions in the valuation report and what is in the legal papers for the property. My solicitor informs me that he must ensure that the bank is happy with this discrepancy and is content to go ahead. Is my solicitor’s stance legitimate?

Your lawyer must comply with the UK Finance Lenders’ Handbook provisions which do require that your lawyer disclose any incorrect assumptions in the lender’s valuation report and the legal papers. Should you refuse to allow your lawyer to make the appropriate notification then your lawyer will have no choice but to discontinue acting for both parties.

2 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Belsize Park took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent told us that the seller will only move forward if we use their preferred conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a local conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Belsize Park

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. If they require ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the sellers and make sure they understand (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you are going to use your own,trusted Belsize Park conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give the estate agent a referral fee or hit his conveyancing thresholds pre-set by head office.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Belsize Park. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. Attached was a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1992. The conveyancing practitioner in Belsize Park who previously acted has now retired. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Belsize Park conveyancing practitioner to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for a few pound. You should note that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

We have reached the end of our tether in trying to purchase the freehold in Belsize Park. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on premiums?
