Just acquired a detached house in Norbury , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Norbury conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Norbury registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and identified one round the corner in Norbury I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Norbury suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

I’m about to sell my ground floor apartment in Norbury. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, however I have recently had a quarterly service charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the service charge as usual given that all rents and maintenance charges should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
