A relative recommended that if I am buying in Gospel Oak I should ask my conveyancer to execute a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?
A search of this type is occasionally quoted for as part of the standard Gospel Oak conveyancing searches.

three months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Gospel Oak took place. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Gospel Oak is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Gospel Oak are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Gospel Oak you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gospel Oak may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
How does one remove a departed person's details from the title register for a property in Gospel Oak?
If a Gospel Oak property is co-owned and one of the proprietors dies, their name will not automatically be removed from the Land Registry title. You are not required to amend the title as when it comes to a disposal your lawyer would just need to supply proof as to the reason the other proprietor is missing from the conveyance, normally this takes the form of the probate documents.
With a view to making the sale conveyancing more straight forward for the sale of the property you may apply to have the deceased party erased from the title register by applying to HMLR with proof of the death. There is no charge from the Registry for this service.
