Just acquired a detached house in Chelmsley Wood , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Chelmsley Wood conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my purchase is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Chelmsley Wood registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any other parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I'm buying a new build house in Chelmsley Wood with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The sale representative suggested that I not inform my conveyancer about this extras as it would impact my loan with the lender. Do I keep my lawyer in the dark?.

All lenders require a Disclosure of Incentives Form from the builder of any new build, converted or renovated property, It is available online from the Lenders’ Handbook page on the CML website. CML form is completed and handed to the lender's surveyor when the inspection is done.

Lenders have different policies on incentives. Some accept none at all, cash or physical, while others will accept cash incentives up to 5%.

Hard to understand why the representative of a builder would be suggesting you withold information from a solicitor when all this will be clearly visible on forms the builder has to supply to its solicitor, the buyer's solicitor and the surveyor.

I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Chelmsley Wood I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, however it's only got 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Chelmsley Wood in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

My uncle has suggested that I appoint his conveyancers in Chelmsley Wood. Should I use them?

Much as we are happy to recommend a Chelmsley Wood conveyancing lawyer the ideal way to find a conveyancing solicitor is to get recommendations from friends or family who have actually used the conveyancer that you are contemplating using.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Chelmsley Wood. Before diving in I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in Chelmsley Wood - 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.

I bought a 1 bedroom flat in Chelmsley Wood, conveyancing formalities finalised March 2000. 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 Chelmsley Wood with an extended lease are worth £179,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced annually. The lease ends on 21st October 2082

With 57 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £26,600 and £30,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
