It has been 4 months since my purchase conveyancing in Stoke Poges took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 premises 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 buying my first flat in Stoke Poges with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated five thousand pounds worth of extras instead. The property agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about the side-deal as it may impact my loan with Clydesdale. Should I keep quiet?.
All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the developer of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.
Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.
Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

Last January I purchased a leasehold property in Stoke Poges. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to completion of my purchase?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. However, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to be sure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
I purchased a studio flat in Stoke Poges, conveyancing was carried out October 2008. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Stoke Poges with a long lease are worth £190,000. The ground rent is £65 charged once a year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2087
You have 61 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £19,000 and £22,000 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to advice on a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
The conveyancers undertaking our conveyancing in Stoke Poges has forwarded documents to review that indicate that the land is unregistered with epitome documents. Is it not the case that all properties in Stoke Poges are registered?
It is a rare occurrence indeed to find property in Stoke Poges not to be registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Many Stoke Poges conveyancing practitioners will be capable of dealing with this type of conveyancing but where uncertainty exists the conventional recommendation nowadays appears to be for the seller’s conveyancer to register the title first and then deal with the sale conveyance - this can though naturally result in a protracted transaction.
