The flat you are about to purchase should be properly reflected by the terms of the lease and its plan. The lease plan should match the physical layout of the property.
If they do not match, there could be an inconsistency in the records for the property. In this event, it is important to inform your solicitor as soon as possible, as the lease might need to be amended to reflect the current layout of the property.
Although your conveyancer will have a copy of the lease, they will not have inspected the property you are buying, and so cannot identify any alterations without information from you. In light of this, it is important to let your conveyancer know any alterations and extensions that have been made to the property you are buying.
