I got the keys to my flat on 2 June and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Lambeth said it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Lambeth particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Lambeth is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am attracted to a two apartments in Lambeth both have about forty five years remaining on the leases. Do I need to be concerned?
There is no doubt about it. A leasehold flat in Lambeth is a deteriorating asset as a result of the reducing lease term. The nearer the lease gets to its expiry date, the more it adversely affects the marketability of the property. For most purchasers and lenders, leases with less than 75 years become less and less attractive. On a more upbeat note, leaseholders can extend their leases by serving a Section 42 Notice. One stipulation is that they must have owned the premises for two years (unlike a Section 13 notice for purchasing the freehold, when leaseholders can participate from day one of ownership). When successful, they will have the right to an extension of 90 years to the current term and ground rent is effectively reduced to zero. Before moving forward with a purchase of premises with a short lease term remaining you should talk to a solicitor specialising in lease extensions and leasehold enfranchisement. We are are happy to put you in touch with Lambeth conveyancing experts who will explain the options available to you during an initial telephone conversation free of charge. A more straightforward and quicker method of extending would be to contact your landlord directly and sound him out on the prospect of extending the lease. You may find he or she is happy to negotiate informally and willing to consider your offer straight off, without having to involve anyone else. This will save you time and money and it could help you reach a lower price on the lease. You need to ensure that any new terms represent good long-term value compared with the standard benefits of the Section 42 Notice and that onerous clauses are not inserted into any redrafting of the lease.
