I got the keys to my flat on 12 May and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Leighton Buzzard expressed confidence that it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Leighton Buzzard uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Leighton Buzzard registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies.

Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Hoping to buy a property located in Leighton Buzzard and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Leighton Buzzard. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Leighton Buzzard area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

Rather than looking online forget looking online you should go and have a look at Leighton Buzzard. In the meantime here are some basic statistics that we found

I've found a house that appears to be perfect, at a reasonable figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have just discovered that the title is leasehold rather than freehold. I would have thought that there are issues buying a house with a leasehold title in Leighton Buzzard. Conveyancing solicitors have are about to be appointed. Will they explain the issues?

The majority of houses in Leighton Buzzard are freehold rather than leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local conveyancer who is familiar with the area who can assist with the conveyancing process. It is clear that you are buying in Leighton Buzzard in which case you should be shopping around for a Leighton Buzzard conveyancing solicitor and check that they have experience in advising on leasehold houses. First you will need to check the unexpired lease term. Being a lessee you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the freeholder’spermission to carry out changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a maintenance charge towards the upkeep of the communal areas where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer should report to you on the legal implications.

I invested in buying a 1st floor flat in Leighton Buzzard, conveyancing formalities finalised 7 years ago. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Leighton Buzzard with a long lease are worth £216,000. The ground rent is £50 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2095

You have 70 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £9,500 and £11,000 plus legals.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more detailed investigations. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other issues that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
