Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Burnage. Before I get started I require certainty as to the number of years remaining on the lease.

Assuming the lease is registered - and almost all are in Burnage - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Comparable properties in Burnage with a long lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2093

You have 67 years left to run the likely cost is going to span between £10,500 and £12,000 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
