As far as conveyancing in Teignmouth registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Teignmouth. Before diving in I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Teignmouth - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

I am the registered owner of a 1st floor flat in Teignmouth, conveyancing was carried out 7 years ago. Can you let me have an estimated range of the fair premium for a lease extension? Corresponding properties in Teignmouth with an extended lease are worth £197,000. The ground rent is £55 per annum. The lease finishes on 21st October 2082

With only 56 years left to run we estimate the premium for your lease extension to range between £29,500 and £34,000 plus plus your own and the landlord's "reasonable" professional fees.

The figure above a general guide to costs for extending a lease, but we are not able to supply a more accurate figure in the absence of comprehensive investigations. Do not use this information in a Notice of Claim or as an informal offer. There are no doubt additional concerns that need to be taken into account and you obviously should be as accurate as possible in your negotiations. Please do not move forward based on this information before getting professional advice.
