As far as conveyancing in Rusholme is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, chain free conveyancing. Rusholme is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Rusholme are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rusholme you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rusholme may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.

I wish to sublet my leasehold flat in Rusholme. Conveyancing solicitor who did the purchase is retired - so can't ask him. Is permission from the freeholder required?

A lease governs relations between the landlord and you the flat owner; specifically, it will set out if subletting is not allowed, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The rule is that if the lease contains no expres ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Rusholme do not contain strict prohibition on subletting – such a provision would adversely affect the market value the property.

I own a studio flat in Rusholme, conveyancing having been completed October 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension?
