Recently been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Selsdon who conducted the legals 18 months ago asking for a conveyancing estimate based on the same type of house sale & purchase (a leasehold premises and a freehold property) of similar values with a mortgage from Platform Home Loans Ltd. It looks as though am now being charged double. Stick with what I know or do I seek out an alternative conveyancer?

It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Selsdon took place. I have checked the Land Registry site which shows that I paid £175,000 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 have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and identified one close by in Selsdon I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Selsdon in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
