    Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Please supply a car parking plan. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.

I purchased a flat in Redcar last 23/5/2025 and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It was part of a development site and my conveyancing practitioner told me that it may take twelve months to register. I have contacted HMLR directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?

It is your lawyer that you really need to get in touch with in order to satisfy any issues which have arisen as part of the registration process for your Redcar property. Normal Redcar conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the vendor’s solicitor that they will assist in resolving any registration raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking in some way.
