five months have gone by since my purchase conveyancing in Lifton concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website 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 asset 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

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent has warned us that the seller will only move forward if we appoint their preferred lawyers as they need an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a local conveyancer with experience of conveyancing in Lifton

We suspect that the owner is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is not the way to achieve this. Try to communicate with the owners directly and make the point that (a)you are motivated purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your own,trusted Lifton conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.

We are in the middle of buying a house in Lifton. Conveyancing solicitor has told us the title is "Leasehold". Does this adversely affect our mortgage valuation?

Lifton conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The main factor here is the remaining lease term and the ground rent. If it's 999 years with a peppercorn rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it shouldn't impact the value significantly.

On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it is bound to have a adverse impact on the value, and probably wouldn't be mortgageable. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease provided to your solicitor.
