Land Registry questions

I applied for copy of a Lease on OC2.
LR cashed the £7 cheque on 7 Feb but nothing received either post or email.
How long should this take? Do I need to chase them?
It sounds like a long time to me but it would perhaps depend on whether Land Registry hold a copy of the lease electronically.
If not they would have to obtain a copy and get it scanned etc.
I'd be tempted to make a quick call to see if anything has gone astray.0 -

Got a question re the boundary to my property. We’ve recently moved in and got hold of the title deed. On it it shows land that sits outside of the current wall that is owned by us.
My question is, is there anything stopping us pushing the wall out to adopt this land into our garden?
I can post a picture if it’s needed.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,
Leon
If the land is currently occupied by someone else then you should probably speak to a solicitor too.0 -

Would you mind checking if this has been accepted please, and the ETA on a turn around if it has?
Sorry to keep on and thanks for your time
Yes it has been expedited - that was around 16th Feb. That should mean it's considered sometime this week. Everything then depends on it being in order“Official Company Representative

Please help!
My partner and I are due to exchange contracts on our first house this Wednesday 27th Feb 2019, BUT WE HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THERE IS NO RIGHT OF WAY TO GET TO THE PROPERTY!
It is a house in a row of five terraces with front access to all houses via a road entering onto the land of number 1 and then on to 2 (ours), 3, 4 and 5. There is also a rear access lane which seems to be unadopted.
The title register for number 1 speaks of it's right to use both front and rear roads as well as mentioning the right of the 4 other houses to use them also. This right is also present on the title register for 4 and 5 but does not appear in the root of title for ours! (though it does appear in historical deeds to 'our' house)
Our house is unregistered and we are hoping that since our right is expressed in the title register of the servant land and others that land registry will agree to add the ROW to our title. If not...are we not landlocked? Should we pull out?
Help!!
Not something we at Land Registry can advise you on. That's a Q for your conveyancer
Clearly it's important to ensure you have a legal right of access so very much something to confirm
If it's being registered for the first time then the application would need to include evidence to support the right of access. Whether that's proven by deeds/existing titles or claimed rights may impact on whether you ask the seller to register first before buying or not. But again only your conveyancer can advise you on the options and which one to take.“Official Company Representative

Most applications are completed and issued within 72 hrs and then by 2nd class post. If it's been over a week then call the support team on 03000060411 to check“Official Company Representative

Check the registered details to see if they refer in anyway. There may be a reason why the wall is where it is from a building/structural perspective but that wouldn't be on the register so wider advice may also be needed“Official Company Representative

Hi,
I have a question regarding a property my mother left after her death without a will (property below £90,000), my father has letters of addministration, but he does not want that property and wants to leave it to one of his grandsons. We were advised to do a deed of variation. Were we go with that next? Sending to Land Registry with AS1, ID1 forms and letters of administration? We would be gratefull if you could advise us what to do or where to find information about that. (We are saving money, so would prefere to sort everything out without involvement of solicitors).
Thank you.0 -

Thank you.
You’re probably going to need some profession advice with regards to the variation, as, depending on the value of the property, this has the potential to change the inheritance tax payable on the estate.
If you do use a variation to vary the intestacy rules then you would use form AS1 rather than TR1.0 -

Property is below £90,000, so no INH tax to pay.0 -

Whilst we don't deal with intestacy/wills I'm slightly confused by the question as I'm unsure what it is you are varying.
Letters of Administration are granted where there is no will. Probate when there is one.
So if Mum had no will Dad got Letters of Administration to deal with her estate. He inherited the property as he was next of kin. And he wants to leave the property to a grandson so has made a will doing so.
If so I assume what you are really asking is how does he put the property in his name. If so then AP1 (if registered - FR1and DL if not) plus AS1 and copy letters of Administration.
If however he wants to transfer it to the grandson (over 18) now, so not leave it in his will, he'd use a TR1 instead of AS1. He'd have to have ID1 for grandson also
Note -AS1 is for transferring to a beneficiary whilst TR1 is for any other scenario“Official Company Representative
