It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Newburn concluded. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £175,000 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 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.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Newburn I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Newburn for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this.

The benefit of a high street Newburn conveyancing practice is that you can pop in to sign documents, hand in your identification documents and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and on the whole were happy that should outweigh using an unknown Newburn conveyancing solicitor solely due to them being Newburn based.
