Have purchased a a detached house in Buxton , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Buxton conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Buxton is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I decided to have a survey carried out on a house in Buxton before appointing solicitors. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold element to the house. My surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend refuse to grant a loan on a flying freehold house.

Do I need to be wary that brokers that I am dealing with are recommending an internet conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Buxton conveyancing firm?

As is the case with many professional services, often recommendations from family and friends can be very helpful. Nevertheless there are numerous parties with a vested interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and banks may suggest conveyancers to select. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but sometimes there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the right to appoint your own conveyancer. You need to be aware that some banks have an approved list of lawyers you must use for the mortgage related work in your home move.

I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Buxton. Before I get started I would like to find out the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is registered - and most are in Buxton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I own a 1 bedroom flat in Buxton, conveyancing formalities finalised half a dozen years ago. Can you let me have an estimate of the premium that my landlord can legally expect in return for granting a renewal of my lease? Corresponding properties in Buxton with an extended lease are worth £181,000. The average or mid-range amount of ground rent is £55 charged once a year. The lease finishes on 21st October 2074

With just 50 years unexpired we estimate the price of your lease extension to span between £31,400 and £36,200 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 renewing a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure without more comprehensive due diligence. You should not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There may be additional concerns that need to be considered and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Neither should you move forward placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
