Have completed on a a terraced house in Manchester , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Manchester conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are addressed.

As far as conveyancing in Manchester is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not usually top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Just had an offer accepted on a new build flat in Manchester. Conveyancing is a frightening process at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you may expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Manchester

    Please supply a car parking plan. Please confirm the Lease plans are surveyor prepared. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Manchester. Before I set the wheels in motion I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Manchester - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I invested in buying a leasehold flat in Manchester, conveyancing was carried out March 2004. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Equivalent flats in Manchester with over 90 years remaining are worth £180,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2084

With only 59 years remaining on your lease we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £20,900 and £24,200 as well as plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to provide the actual costs in the absence of detailed due diligence. Do not use this information in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.

Some weeks ago I was told by my mortgage company that their panel conveyancers operate no completion no charge basis for conveyancing in Manchester. Our purchase did not proceed yet the conveyancers have invoiced for search fees! They say the fees are nothing to do with their fees!

By offering "no completion no fee" Manchester conveyancing lawyers are foregoing their charges for any work carried out. We should make it clear that this does not constitute an insurance scheme. Disbursements aren’t covered – where the lawyer have to pay money out to third parties, for example Manchester local search fees
