Just bought a semi-detached house in Fradley , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Fradley conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are concluded.

As far as conveyancing in Fradley is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Please provide evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?
