Have purchased a a detached house in Mitcheldean , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my title? My Mitcheldean conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Mitcheldean registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Mitcheldean where we have experienced a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have been given conflicting advice from local Mitcheldean conveyancing solicitors. Can you shed some light as to whether the seller of a flat can start the lease extension process 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 kick-start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is 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 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.
