It has been three months following my purchase conveyancing in Ringmer completed. I have checked the Land Registry website which shows that I paid £150,000 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 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've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Ringmer is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Ringmer are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Ringmer you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Ringmer 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 residence.
I have just appointed agents to market my basement apartment in Ringmer. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently had a yearly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as normal given that all rents and service charges will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.

Enquire of other tenants whether they are happy with them. In conclusion, be sure you understand the dates that the service charges are due to the managing agents and specifically what it includes. This question is useful as a) areas can cause problems for the building as the communal areas may begin to deteriorate where services are not paid for b) if the tenants have a dispute with the managing agents you will want to have complete disclosure
