Have completed on a a detached house in Patcham , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Patcham conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Patcham registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Patcham. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Patcham - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I inherited a 1 bedroom flat in Patcham, conveyancing was carried out August 1997. 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? Equivalent flats in Patcham with a long lease are worth £185,000. The ground rent is £65 invoiced every year. The lease runs out on 21st October 2086

With only 60 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to range between £20,000 and £23,000 as well as legals.

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure without more detailed due diligence. You should not use the figures in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not move forward placing reliance on this information without first seeking the advice of a professional.

My wife and I have AIP from HSBC Bank who suggested that they will lend up to £350k. When do we need to instruct a solicitor for conveyancing? Patcham is where we plan to move to.

It would be wise to appoint a solicitor now so that the lawyer can open the file so they can conduct the ID checks etc. If and when you wish them to start work you will be asked for a payment on account usually approximately £225. That should normally be after you have the loan offer from your bank and valuation report, however should you wish to speed matters you can start the ball rolling quicker albeit risking some expense.
