Just acquired a detached house in North Sheen , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My North Sheen conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are dealt with.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in North Sheen registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not always top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. North Sheen is the location of the property. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in North Sheen are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in North Sheen you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in North Sheen may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in North Sheen. Conveyancing and Skipton Building Society mortgage organised. A letter has just been received from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in North Sheen who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?

The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. You do not need to instruct a North Sheen conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for £3. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord for a lease extension without getting anywhere. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a North Sheen conveyancing firm to assist?

Where there is a absentee landlord or if there is dispute about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant legislation it is possible to make an application to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the sum to be paid.

An example of a Lease Extension case for a North Sheen flat is Flat 1 30 Ennismore Avenue in September 2010. the Tribunal adopted and arrived at a premium for the lease extension of £29, 900 This case affected 1 flat. The unexpired term was 68.34 years.

My folks are having difficulties in finding their North Sheen land registry title on the site. They have a vague recollection back in the 60’s when they bought the property there were complications concerning the post code not being recognised in some systems.

Nearly all properties in North Sheen should be revealed. Have you tried a search to just the postcode. Ordinarily it will mention all the premises within that postcode. Where recorded it will be there with a title number. If they bought back in the 60’s it's conceivable it may be not yet registered. The address could still be revealed but with the title number identified as 'na'. In this scenario you will need to find the original title deeds which might be with your parent’s bank.
