I have paid off my mortgage with TSB. I assume I don't need a New Forest conveyancing practitioner on the TSB panel to remove the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.
If you have finished paying off your TSB mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the TSB mortgage from the register. TSB, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:
- but are not moving to another property
- where TSB has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
- TSB has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I acquired my apartment on 2 May and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in New Forest expressed confidence that it would be registered in less than a month. Are titles in New Forest uniquely lengthy to register?

Currently in the region of 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I have recently realised that I have Sixty One years left on my lease in New Forest. I am keen to get lease extension but my freeholder is can not be found. What options are available to me?
On the basis that you qualify, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for for permission to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be lengthened by the Court. However, you will be required to prove that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to locate the landlord.

I invested in buying a 2 bed flat in New Forest, conveyancing formalities finalised 10 years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding flats in New Forest with an extended lease are worth £206,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £45 per annum. The lease terminates on 21st October 2091
With just 66 years remaining on your lease we estimate the premium for your lease extension to be between £11,400 and £13,200 as well as costs.
The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for renewing a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs in the absence of comprehensive due diligence. Do not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be other concerns that need to be considered and clearly you want to be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you take any other action placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.
