There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Cambourne registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority 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.
I am looking at a couple of apartments in Cambourne which have about forty five years remaining on the leases. Will this present a problem?
There are plenty of short leases in Cambourne. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease gets shorter the value of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease because mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We advise that you get professional help from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.

If a Cambourne lease has no more than eighty years it will have adverse implications on the marketability of the property. It is worth checking with your bank that they are content with residual term of the lease. Leases with less than 80 years remaining means that you will almost definitely require a lease extension at some point and it is worth discovering how much this will be. Remember, in most cases you would be required to have owned the residence for 24 months before you are entitled to extend the lease. Are any of leasehold owners in arrears of their service charge payments? Does the lease have in excess of 80 years unexpired?
