As far as conveyancing in Pound Hill is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I work for a long established estate agency in Pound Hill where we see a number of leasehold sales jeopardised as a result of short leases. I have received conflicting advice from local Pound Hill conveyancing firms. Could you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can commence the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that the seller has been the owner 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. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years to extend their lease. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the disposal of the property.
An alternative approach is to agree the lease extension with the freeholder 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.
I own a 1 bedroom flat in Pound Hill, conveyancing having been completed in 2008. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Similar flats in Pound Hill with over 90 years remaining are worth £260,000. The ground rent is £45 yearly. The lease ceases on 21st October 2101

The figure that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to provide a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward based on this information without first getting professional advice.
The lawyers undertaking our conveyancing in Pound Hill has forwarded documents to review that indicate that the property is unregistered with epitome documents. Why is the property not currently recorded at HMLR?
It is unusual for property in Pound Hill not to be registered. An 'epitome' is basically a dossier of photocopies of documents affecting an unregistered title. Many Pound Hill conveyancing practitioners will be familiar with such matters but in the event that uncertainty reigns the conventional guidance presently is for the seller’s conveyancer to register it first and then sell - this no doubt cause a prolonged home move.
