We suggest that you think long and hard as to how much you respect your own move to want to be penny wise pound foolish concerning the standard of the legal work.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Somerset , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Somerset conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Somerset registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
In what way does the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my business offices in Somerset and how can you help?
The 1954 Act provides a safeguard to commercial lessees, granting the legal entitlement to apply to court for a new tenancy and continue in occupation when the lease reaches an end. There are limited grounds that a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are complex. Fees are different for commercial conveyancing.

We suspect that the seller is unaware of this demand. If they desire ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Avoid the agents and go straight to the owners and explain that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to go, with finances in place © you are unencumbered (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Somerset conveyancing firm - rather thanthose that will provide the negotiator at the agency a kickback or meet his conveyancing targets pre-set by head office.
Back In 2009, I bought a leasehold house in Somerset. Conveyancing and Barclays mortgage organised. I have received a letter from someone claiming to own the freehold. It included a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1993. The conveyancing solicitor in Somerset who previously acted has now retired. What should I do?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that the individual claiming to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion. It is not necessary to instruct a Somerset conveyancing lawyer to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.
