I got the keys to my apartment on 1 February and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Aldershot said it will be concluded in less than a month. Are transfers in Aldershot particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Aldershot registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I have been pointed in your direction by numerous estate agents in Aldershot to select a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your site over and above a competitor’s?
We refuse to make any commission for directing people our way. We thought it would be too underhand a fee as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I have recently realised that I have 62 years left on my lease in Aldershot. I now want to get lease extension but my freeholder is absent. What options are available to me?
If you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be granted an extra 90 years by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have done all that could be expected to locate the freeholder. On the whole an enquiry agent would be useful to carry out a search and to produce an expert document which can be used as proof that the freeholder can not be located. It is wise to seek advice from a conveyancer both on proving the landlord’s disappearance and the application to the County Court covering Aldershot.
