I acquired my house on 7 May and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Todmorden said it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Todmorden uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Todmorden registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Todmorden I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Todmorden for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
