We're in Ashton under Lyne, First timers purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Principality , and our lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Principality conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancing practitioner should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Just acquired a detached house in Ashton under Lyne , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Ashton under Lyne conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Ashton under Lyne registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Just had an offer accepted on a new build apartment in Ashton under Lyne. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.
Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Ashton under Lyne
-
If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease.
I work for a reputable estate agency in Ashton under Lyne where we have experienced a few flat sales derailed as a result of short leases. I have been given contradictory information from local Ashton under Lyne conveyancing solicitors. Can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.

The prefered form of lease arrangement is where the freehold title is in the ownership of the leaseholders. In this arrangement the lessees enjoy control and notwithstanding that a managing agent is usually retained if the building is larger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves. What is the the remaining lease term? Does the lease contain onerous restrictions?
