Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Handsworth , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Handsworth conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Handsworth registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority 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.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my basement apartment in Handsworth. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently had a yearly service charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you clear the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and service payments will be allotted as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.

I bought a 2 bed flat in Handsworth, conveyancing formalities finalised June 1998. 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?
