I purchased my house on 12 March and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Spalding advises it should be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Spalding particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Spalding is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Can you provide any top tips for leasehold conveyancing in Spalding from the point of view of speeding up the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Spalding can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and ask them to collate the leasehold information which will be required by the purchasers’ solicitors. If you have had conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are resolved prior to the flat being marketed. The buyers and their solicitors will be reluctant to purchase a property where a dispute is unsettled. You will have to accept that you will have to discharge any arrears of service charge or settle the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal details of the dispute to the buyers, but it is better to reveal the dispute as historic rather than ongoing. If you are supposed to have a share in the freehold, you should ensure that you have the original share certificate. Arranging a re-issued share certificate is often a lengthy formality and delays many a Spalding home move. Where a reissued share is needed, do contact the company officers or managing agents (where applicable) for this sooner rather than later. The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Spalding charge for providing management packs for a leasehold property. You or your lawyers should find out the fee that they propose to charge. The management information sought as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Spalding. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you laid down wooden flooring? Most leases in Spalding state that internal structural changes or laying down wooden flooring require a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Where you fail to have the paperwork to hand do not communicate with the landlord without checking with your lawyer before hand.
I bought a split level flat in Spalding, conveyancing was carried out December 1998. Can you please calculate a probable premium for a statutory lease extension? Equivalent properties in Spalding with a long lease are worth £171,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £50 yearly. The lease comes to an end on 21st October 2105
With only 79 years remaining on your lease the likely cost is going to be between £7,600 and £8,800 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.
The suggested premium range that we have given is a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply the actual costs without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use the figures in tribunal or court proceedings. There are no doubt other issues that need to be considered and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action based on this information before getting professional advice.
