Completed the sale of my flat in Sunningdale last July yet the purchaser is telephoning daily to say his lawyer needs to hear from mine. What are the post completion sale formalities following completion?
Post completion of your sale your solicitor is duty bound to deliver the transfer deeds and all additional paperwork to the purchaser's solicitors. If applicable, your lawyer should also confirm that the home loan has been redeemed to the purchasers lawyers. There are no post completion requirements unique to conveyancing in Sunningdale.

Will our lawyer be raising enquiries concerning flooding as part of the conveyancing in Sunningdale.
Flooding is a growing risk for lawyers conducting conveyancing in Sunningdale. Some people will purchase a property in Sunningdale, fully aware that at some time, it may suffer from flooding. However, leaving to one side the physical destruction, where a property is at risk of flooding, it may be difficult to obtain a mortgage, adequate insurance cover, or sell the premises. There are steps that can be taken during the course of a house purchase to forewarn the purchaser.
Solicitors are not qualified to give advice on flood risk, however there are a various checks that can be initiated by the purchaser or on a buyer’s behalf which will figure out the risks in Sunningdale. The conventional set of information sent to a purchaser’s lawyer (where the Conveyancing Protocol is adopted) includes a standard question of the owner to determine whether the property has historically flooded. In the event that the property has been flooded in past which is not revealed by the vendor, then a buyer could commence a legal claim for losses as a result of such an inaccurate answer. The purchaser’s conveyancers will also carry out an enviro search. This will reveal whether there is any known flood risk. If so, additional investigations will need to be conducted.
I bought my flat on 11 February and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Sunningdale said it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Sunningdale particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Sunningdale registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not typically primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Sunningdale is the location of the property. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Sunningdale are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sunningdale you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sunningdale 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 residence.
In what way can the Landlord & Tenant Act 1954 impact my commercial property in Sunningdale and how can you help?
The particular law that you refer to provides a safeguard to commercial lessees, granting the a statutory right to make a request to court for a renewal lease and continue in occupation at the end of the lease term. There are limited grounds where a landlord can refrain from granting a lease renewal and the rules are involved. We are happy to direct you to commercial conveyancing firms who use the act to your advantage and handle your commercial conveyancing in Sunningdale
