Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Pinner Green , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Pinner Green conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Pinner Green registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties.

Historically registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I'm purchasing my first flat in Pinner Green with a loan from Bank of Ireland. The developers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of extras instead.

My husband and I may need to sub-let our Pinner Green basement flat for a while due to a career opportunity. We used a Pinner Green conveyancing practice in 2001 but they have since shut and we did not think at the time get any advice as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?

A small minority of properties in Pinner Green do contain a provision to say that subletting is only allowed with permission. The landlord is not entitled to unreasonably withhold but, in such cases, they would need to see 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 permission.

I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without any joy. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such issues? Can you recommend a Pinner Green conveyancing firm to assist?

in cases where there is a missing landlord or if there is disagreement about what the lease extension should cost, under the relevant statutes you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to determine the amount due.

An example of a lease Extension matter before the tribunal for a Pinner Green flat is 25 Beechwood Avenue in November 2012. the Tribunal accordingly determined that the premium for the lease extension should be £24,353. This case was in relation to 1 flat. The unexpired term as at the valuation date was 58.19 years.
