I bought my home on 5 November and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Shortlands advises it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Shortlands uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Shortlands registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Shortlands I like with open areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Shortlands suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

I was pointed in your direction by two or three local estate agents in Shortlands to get a quote from a property lawyer on your site. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to recommend your site rather than alternative conveyancing organisations?

We don’t give any financial incentive for sending work in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as home movers will think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ So we decided to step away from that.

My wife and I may need to sub-let our Shortlands 1st floor flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We used a Shortlands conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?

Even though your last Shortlands conveyancing lawyer is not available you can check your lease to check if you are permitted to let out the premises. The accepted inference is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you are obliged to obtain permission via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. Such consent must not not be unreasonably withheld. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.

I have tried to negotiate informally with with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal adjudicate on such issues? Can you recommend a Shortlands conveyancing firm to assist?

You certainly can. We can put you in touch with a Shortlands conveyancing firm who can help.

An example of a Freehold Enfranchisement decision for a Shortlands property is Ravensbourne Lodge 4 Highland Road in February 2013. the Tribunal held that the amount payable for the freehold was £22,268
