five months have gone by following my purchase conveyancing in Lifton took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £200,000 when infact I paid £160,000. 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.

I am looking into buying my first house which is in Lifton and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Lifton. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Lifton area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Lifton. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

We're novice buyers - agreed a price, but the selling agent informed us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. We would rather use a high street solicitor used to conveyancing in Lifton

We suspect that the seller is not behind this ultimatum. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious buyer is likely to cause more damage than good. Try to communicate with the owners directly and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to appoint your preferred Lifton conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or meet his conveyancing thresholds set by corporate headquarters.

20 days into purchasing a residence in Lifton. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the property is "Leasehold". Does this impact our home loan valuation?

Lifton conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a nominal rent, it's virtually freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the saleability significantly.

On the flip side, if it's, say, Sixty years it will have a adverse effect on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The remaining lease term and ground rent will be specified in the lease which should be made available to your property lawyer.
