Just bought a semi-detached house in Bideford , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Bideford conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Bideford is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to sub-let our Bideford basement flat temporarily due to a career opportunity. We instructed a Bideford conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have closed and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease allows us to sublet. How do we find out?
A lease governs relations between the freeholder and you the leaseholder; specifically, it will indicate if subletting is banned, or permitted but only subject to certain conditions. The accepted inference is that if the lease contains no specific ban or restriction, subletting is permitted. The majority of leases in Bideford do not contain subletting altogether – such a clause would adversely affect the market value the flat. In most cases there is simply a requirement that the owner notifies the freeholder, possibly supplying a copy of the sublease.
