Before the recession most banks had an appetite for risk which was higher than today. Almost all Bolsover conveyancing firms would have been on most bank panels.

Just bought a detached house in Bolsover , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Bolsover conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Bolsover registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am employed by a long established estate agency in Bolsover where we have witnessed a few leasehold sales derailed due to short leases. I have received inconsistent advice from local Bolsover conveyancing firms. Please can you shed some light as to whether the vendor of a flat can instigate the lease extension process for the buyer?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having 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 simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
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.
