five months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Kesgrave concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 when infact I paid £215,000. Why the discrepancy?

If you have carried out any alterations to the residence would they have required Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Kesgrave leases often stipulate that internal structural changes or addition of wooden flooring necessitate a licence from the Landlord acquiescing to such works. Should you dont have the approvals in place do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your conveyancer before hand.

You may think that you are aware of the number of years remaining on your lease but it would be wise to double-check via your lawyers.

It is therefore essential at an as soon as possible that you identify whether the lease term requires a lease extension. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your property on the market for sale. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The buyers and their solicitors will be nervous about purchasing a flat where there is a current dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is clearly preferable to present the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled.
