You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.

The property lawyers handling our conveyancing in Devizes has sent documents to review that indicate that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. How can it be that the property not currently recorded at the Land Registry?

Although most properties in Devizes are now registered with the Land Registry there are still a few that are unregistered. Any property in Devizes that has been transferred since the late 1980’s will have been registered at the Land Registry under the compulsory ‘first registration’ scheme. However, if a Devizes property has not changed hands in that time then it’s likely the old fashioned title deeds will be the only evidence of ownership.Plenty of Devizes conveyancing practitioners should be familiar with such matters but where uncertainty exists the conventional proposition nowadays appears to be for the vendor’s solicitor to register the title first and then deal with the transfer to the buyer - this undoubtedly cause a significant delay.
