I got the keys to my house on 4 June and my personal details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Prestbury expressed confidence that it would be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Prestbury particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Prestbury registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I am employed by a reputable estate agent office in Prestbury where we see a few flat sales derailed due to short leases. I have been given inconsistent advice from local Prestbury conveyancing solicitors. Please can you shed some light as to whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. The benefit of this is that the proposed purchaser can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. 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 sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord 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 purchaser.
