Just acquired a semi-detached house in Kirkbymoorside , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Kirkbymoorside conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Kirkbymoorside registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

As with many professional services, often recommendations from connections can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, mortgage brokers and lenders might all put forward solicitors to select. Sometimes these conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the endorsement.

I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Kirkbymoorside where we have witnessed a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given contradictory information from local Kirkbymoorside conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
As long as 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 need not have to wait 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed 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.
