I acquired my flat on 7 September and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Egremont said it will be recorded inside ten days. Are titles in Egremont uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Egremont registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Egremont is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Egremont are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Egremont you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Egremont may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor flat in Egremont. Conveyancing is yet to be initiated, but I have just received a quarterly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

The sensible thing to do is pay the service charge as normal given that all ground rent and service invoices will be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I bought a leasehold flat in Egremont, conveyancing having been completed January 1999. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension?

With just 51 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £30,400 and £35,200 plus 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 provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations.
