Have purchased a a detached house in Glossop , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my title? My Glossop conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Glossop registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I was advised by a few property agents in Glossop to get a quote from a property lawyer using your seach tool. Is there a financial advantage for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers over and above alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers our way. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because a client could think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.
I am using a search engine for the words cheap conveyancing in Glossop it reveals numerous solicitorsin the vicinity. How do I determine which is the suitable conveyancer for my move?
The preferential way of choosing the right conveyancer is through a personal testimonial, so seek the opinion of friends and those you trust who have purchased a property in Glossop or a reputable estate agent or financial adviser. Charges for conveyancing in Glossop vary, so it's advisable to obtain at least four fee calculations from different solicitors. Dont forget to clarify that the charges are assured not to escalate.
I am employed by a reputable estate agency in Glossop where we have witnessed a number of flat sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received contradictory information from local Glossop conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the owner of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
I bought a leasehold flat in Glossop, conveyancing was carried out in 1999. Can you work out an approximate cost of a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Glossop with an extended lease are worth £201,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 invoiced every year. The lease ends on 21st October 2089
With 64 years unexpired the likely cost is going to be between £15,200 and £17,600 as well as costs.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs without more comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before seeking the advice of a professional.
