I have chased previously as have my solicitor and was advised it would be looked at this week by the lawyers but we have heard nothing yet. As previously discussed I am waiting to complete and this is holding up the sale so is extremely urgent and stressful. Is there an update? Title number ST277197.
Apologies for messaging again I was due to complete on the 5th July so really stressed with it all.
Many thanks

The lawyer has written to the solicitor today

Hi Land Registry,

We are in the process of buying a property (ground and first floor) and have come to an agreement with the freeholder where the lease plan/land registry plan will be rectified to show a section of the garden belonging to the basement flat (to reflect the garden as it currently is used), and the leasehold we are buying will be updated to include the loft.

What is the process of doing this? Is it two separate requests to the land registry i.e. one to alter the garden plan and one to include the loft in the lease?

Assuming the seller and the freeholder agree to this happening, what is the likely timescale?

Thanks.

If the rectified garden and loft are being added to the same lease then that is often done by way of a single deed of variation
That will act as a surrender and regrant of the original lease

There's a backlog of that type of work at present so of it's urgent whoever applies needs to include documentary evidence of the onward sale being confirmed and time sensitive and ask us to expedite the registration. Expedition reduces the wait time to a few weeks providing everything is in order

Hi, any update on EC8600C? Just looking for some update or timescale. Our buyers mortgage offer expires on the 22nd and he’s unable to get a extension.
Thankyou

Can you double check the reference quoted please as it's not a title number or case reference we would use

When I spoke to LR yesterday they said they was waiting for the ordinance report back and told us to contact who did the survey, we don’t have the details of that person or company, do you know how we can find it. We’ve only got 3 weeks to sort this or our chain will collapse so I’m panicking. I had to create a new log in for here, it’s still me.
Thankyou

Many thanks - as advised by us over the phone a survey/site visit was required and this was completed on the 22nd.
We are waiting for Ordnance Survey to provide that report but I suspect there has been a delay in doing so due to bank holiday weekend
We should not suggest that you contact OS direct so apologies if that was the advice given
The case record shows multiple contact chases by the solicitors involved as well as individuals within the chain.
The application will be dealt with expeditiously at each stage but until we get that report back from OS we can't see what stages are needed next.
I'll post again when I have some more info to share but if you prefer to ring us or get your solicitor to do so then that is probably the best way of doing it - multiple enquiries don't always help as you can get a mix of Qs being asked and therefore a variety of answers which can add to stress/panic.
Far better to manage the parts you can control but I do appreciate that with so many pressure points in the process at present it can be hard to not panic

Thankyou, I do appreciate you’re quick response and understand. Any updates would be greatly appreciated.
Kind regards

Only me again, sorry to be a pain. Any updates yet? . How long do you leave it before you chase up the OS.
Kind regards

I checked earlier and not with us as yet. If it is not with us by the end of the week then we will make some wider enquiries.
But forming the report and updating the OS detail is not a super-quick process so we are in their hands re completing that part of the process
