Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I purchased a split level flat in Bridgwater, conveyancing having been completed December 2006. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Bridgwater with an extended lease are worth £265,000. The ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease finishes on 21st October 2101

With just 76 years unexpired we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £8,600 and £9,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you the actual costs in the absence of detailed investigations. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.

Do I need to attend the offices of the lender conveyancing panel solicitor to sign the mortgage deed? If so, I will choose one who does conveyancing in Bridgwater as it will be easier to attend their offices when needed.
