Differences in property address in Title Register

yellowk

Hi there

I'm wondering if I could get some advice (or reassurance) about a property I am looking to make an offer on.

The flat was bought as a new build back in 2003 and it hasn't changed hands since. I searched the Land Registry website for lease details I found the documents fine with the correct address details. I downloaded the Title Register and Title Plan however, the address listed on the Title Register doesn't match the actual property address. The Title plan highlights the right area though.

I looked at the freehold document and that again throws up another address for the flat.

This has all left me very confused! I've asked the estate agent to ask the seller but while I wait, I was hoping someone would be able to let me know:

1.) Is this an issue to be concerned about?
2.) What would cause the mismatch?
3.) How much time could this add to the timings for the sale?

Thanks again for taking the time to read and thanks in advance for any help

Doesn't matter. It's the location of the property which does, not what anybody calls it. Flats often have inconsistent addresses.

1) Without knowing any further information about the flat, it doesn’t sound like something you need to be overly worried about, but if the Land Registry has the wrong address then this will need to be updated (could probably take up at least a month), otherwise your mortgage provider may not approve a loan on the property 
2) I’ve not heard of a mismatch between the lease and the title register before, but it’s somewhat common for there to be genuine issues/confusion when a new address is created e.g. not appearing as a valid postcode online
3) See 1), Land Registry corrections typically take at least 1 month to be processed

When we bought our house it was Plot 242...it's obviously since got a 'real' postal address. Not a problem.
