It has been five months since my purchase conveyancing in Rumney completed. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £150,000 when infact I paid £170,000. 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 residence 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 ground for flat up to £195,000 and found one near me in Rumney I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Rumney suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

I have instructed a Rumney conveyancing solicitor for our home move (first time buyers) and have noticed in the engagement letter that they are not overseen by the Financial Conduct Authority. Should I be concerned or is that usually the case with conveyancing practitioner?
We can't see why they should be. Most solicitor don't lend money. You should check that they are governed by the Solicitors Regulation Authority, who dictate strict obligations in relation to monies held by them.
