Hi
Some weeks ago I completed on extending the Long Term Leasehold of my flat by 90 years (at considerable expense!). The only thing pending was registering the new deed at the Land Registry.
Completely separate from this, I was due to complete on a remortgage today with HSBC.
I was called this morning by HSBC's solicitor's stating that they cannot complete.
O'Neills explained that an application has been lodged by another firm of solicitors at the Land Registry and until the application is complete at the Land Registry, my remortgage cannot complete.
The main concern is that my remortgage offer will expire and my good tracker rate will disappear out the window.
Does anyone else know how long it takes for an application at the Land Registry to be registered?
Hope this is clear!
Registering extended Lease with Land Registry- how long?

by Gordon999It seems quoting service charge at £700, then 750 , 800 and 850 is a form of deception to find a buyer. If the service charge at 1700 is for flat located around London area , it may be acceptable. But if the flat is old and located up north, and having a service charge of £1700 , you may struggle...

by LawcruncherYou only need to make one application, not an application to see if you need to make an application and then another application.
An alteration is only structural if it affects the structure, which can be taken to be the parts which support it and enclose it. It includes the foundations,...-

by AndrewDodBear in mind that if there is any breach of contract, it is likely that the contract is with the freeholder, not you. So you will be asking your fellow lessee to cooperate in a process where he sues himself.
I'm afraid that you decided to purchase
