Just acquired a detached house in Romford , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Romford conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the registration formalities are addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Romford registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I work for a long established estate agent office in Romford where we see a number of leasehold sales put at risk due to short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Romford conveyancing solicitors. Please can you confirm whether the vendor of a flat can initiate the lease extension formalities for the buyer?
Provided that 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. This means that the buyer can avoid having to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done before, or simultaneously with completion of the disposal of the property.
Alternatively, it may be possible 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 buyer.
