I appreciate that there are debates on Chancel Insurance on online forums. Am I compelled to take this when buying a residence in Gorton? or Apparently there is a law dating back centuries that means some owners of property living in a parish church boundary may be liable to contribute towards maintenance to the chancel within the church. Is this relevant for conveyancing in Gorton?
Unless a previous purchase of the house completed post 12 October 2013 you may expect lawyers conducting conveyancing in Gorton to continue to advocate a chancel search and or insurance against a claim.
It has been 3 months following my purchase conveyancing in Gorton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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 leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Gorton I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years on the lease. There is not much else in Gorton in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

Who are the managing agents? It would be sensible to investigate if there are any onerous prohibitions in the lease.
