Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Cheshunt , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Cheshunt conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Cheshunt is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property so post completion formalities is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Am I right to be suspicious that estate agents that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Cheshunt conveyancing firm?
As with lots of professional services, often input from family and friends can be worth their weight in gold. Yet there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies may suggest lawyers to choose. On occasion these solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You have the right to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of mortgage providers specify a panel list of lawyers you must use for the lender aspect of your house move.

My wife and I may need to let out our Cheshunt 1st floor flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Cheshunt conveyancing practice in 2003 but they have closed and we did not have the foresight to get any advice as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
A small minority of properties in Cheshunt do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord cannot unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to review references. Experience dictates that problems are usually caused by unsatisfactory tenants rather than owner-occupiers and for that reason you can expect the freeholder to take up the references and consider them carefully before granting consent.
I bought a leasehold flat in Cheshunt, conveyancing was carried out August 2007. 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 Cheshunt with a long lease are worth £202,000. The ground rent is £55 levied per year. The lease ceases on 21st October 2080
With only 56 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to span between £29,500 and £34,000 as well as legals.
The suggested premium range above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we cannot give you a more accurate figure in the absence of detailed investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt other issues that need to be taken into account and clearly you should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. You should not take any other action placing reliance on this information without first getting professional advice.
