3 months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Finsbury completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 property 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 advice of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Finsbury before appointing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not grant a mortgage on such a property.
It varies from the lender to lender. Lloyds has different requirements from Halifax. If you contact us we can investigate further with the relevant mortgage company. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can assist as they are used to dealing with flying freeholds in Finsbury. Conveyancing can be more complicated and therefore you should check with your conveyancing solicitor in Finsbury to see if the conveyancing costs will increase in light of this.

I am an executor of my recently deceased parent's Will, with a property in Finsbury which is to be sold. The property has never been registered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that some EAs will insist that it is done before they'll proceed. What's the mechanism for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems advisable to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. HMLR’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and certified copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
