As you are taking a mortgage with a bank your property lawyer has to comply with their conditions as set out in their version of the CML Conveyancing Handbook.

3 months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Belton took place. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

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.

Its a good idea to discover as much as possible about the managing agents as they will impact your use and enjoyment of the property. As the proprietor of a leasehold property you are frequently in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to day to day issues like the cleanliness of the communal areas. Enquire of other tenants what they think of their service. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that you are obliged pay the service charge to the relevant party and specifically how they are spending the funds. Where a Belton lease has less than 80 years it will impact the salability of the flat. It is worth checking with your mortgage company that they are happy with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will probably have to extend the lease at some point and it is worth finding out how much this will be. For most Beltonlease extensions you would need to own the property for a couple of years in order to be eligible to extend the lease. Please tell me if there are any major works anticipated that will increase the maintenance charges?
