I completed on my apartment on 13 February and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Merriott advises it will be concluded inside ten days. Are properties in Merriott uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Merriott registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property so an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Set out below are examples of a selection of leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Merriott
-
The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
I am a negotiator for a long established estate agency in Merriott where we have experienced a number of flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Merriott conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the seller of a flat can instigate the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start 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 has to be done before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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 split level flat in Merriott, conveyancing formalities finalised in 2005. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Similar properties in Merriott with an extended lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 per annum. The lease ceases on 21st October 2085
With 60 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to span between £20,000 and £23,000 plus professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
