I purchased my house on 4 February and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Swanscombe said it will be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in Swanscombe particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Swanscombe registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Swanscombe is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Swanscombe are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Swanscombe you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Swanscombe may determine 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.

Having spent months of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Swanscombe. Does the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal have jurisdiction to calculate the appropriate figures?
if there is a missing freeholder or if there is disagreement about the premium for a lease extension, under the relevant statutes it is possible to make an application to the LVT to arrive at the price payable.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Swanscombe flat is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case was in relation to 13 flats. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 76 years.
What makes a Swanscombe lease unacceptable for security purposes?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Swanscombe. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are erroneous. The following missing provisions could result in a defective lease:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain parts of the premises
A defective lease will likely cause problems when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. National Westminster Bank, Skipton Building Society, and Platform Home Loans Ltd all have very detailed conveyancing instructions when it comes to what is expected in a lease. If a mortgage lender believes that the lease is defective they may refuse to provide security, obliging the purchaser to withdraw.
