I am need of leasehold conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Spalding. The vast majority the flats have already been sold. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Spalding?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your lender will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Spalding conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. Your solicitor, will 'advise', perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should have the searches done, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you choose to instruct your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to change to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Spalding.
3 months have elapsed following my purchase conveyancing in Spalding 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 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.

The primary upside of using a local Spalding conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to sign paperwork, deliver your ID and pester them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a benefit. That being said it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you.

I work for a reputable estate agency in Spalding where we have experienced a few leasehold sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Spalding conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

How is the lease structured? Can you tell me if there are any major works in the planning that will likely increase the maintenance fees? It would be prudent to find out as much as you can about the managing agents as they will either make life much easier or much more difficult. Being a leasehold owner you will be in the clutches of the managing agents both financially and when it comes to day to day issues like the cleanliness of the communal areas. Don't be afraid to ask other tenants whether they are happy with them. On a final note, investigate as to the dates that the maintenance fees are due to the managing agents and precisely what it includes.
