It has been 2 months since my purchase conveyancing in Oxford completed. I have checked the Land Registry site 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 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.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one near me in Oxford I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Oxford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

Mortgage requirements to conveyancers from all CML members specify that If the seller does not have legal representation the borrower's lawyers should check whether the bank needs to be told so that a decision can be made as to whether or not they are willing to move forward.
