the deeds to our house only make reference to managed area ( fees paid for upkeep of these small areas around the estate). 
We currently have 6 flats worth of bins alongside our house , and we have asked for them to be put in the flat gardens . there are 2 flats that don't have gardens, and someone is saying as the questioned area is a bin storage area on the deeds then one needs to be built. this is not something we are in favour of as it would be full view from our window. hence needing to know where to clarify this blurred item on the deeds.
Also the boundary line of our house is next to the managed area( we are end terrace ). there are currently no hedges, but am no correct in thinking that the boundary line can he a meter away from house due to the scale of the deeds plan (1250 )

Understood but I’d repeat that if the blurred area was relevant to the deed then it would be referred to in some other way within the deed or on the plan. 

If the deed refers to ‘managed areas’ then they too should be defined in some way. 

If there’s no clarity then the ? remains and the deed and plan don’t appear to help re your specific problem 
The interpretation you refer to re a 1/1250 plan relates to our title plan from a registration perspective. 

That may or may not be something you can apply to a deed plan but it may be hard to be definitive again even if the scale of the deed plan is also 1/1250. Deed plans are often drawn at different scales and the drawing equipment will differ.

Hi again, 
If an application to lodge first land registration has been submitted by our sellers conveyancer, can we, as the purchasers request for it to be expedited if we have title number etc?
They have failed to request it to be expedited, although they have informed us that it had last week. (I had been informed by LR that it hasn't) It has been holding up our purchase for the last 3 months and we have been in this purchase for the last year due to probate and covid as it is!
If I submit a confirmation of sale document as evidence, will this be accepted?
Would appreciate if you could help.

You can and it may be. We won’t decided upon until you submit the request and evidence 
Note - if you are also using our a Blog to ask similar Qs then can I ask you to stick to one channel, preferably the Contact form you have also used please? 

It’s not a criticism but more of a plea as multi channel enquiries diverts resources away from what you want done, namely applications processed quicker. Many thanks

Hi,
I wander if anyone has any updates as to how long it takes for Lease Extension to register on the HM Land Registry Website.
I realise that there may well have been delays with everything going on this year, but my solicitor put in the application back in February (he says everything is correct).  I have just paid to check the Title Register and it states "This extract shows information current on 19 MAY 2020" and is not showing the 999 Year Extension which was applied for.
There is no rush (I'm not planning on moving), but this just feels like a very long time for nothing to show up.
Thanks for any advice.

That confirms the pending application was submitted in May. Wait times are long, 6+ months currently so just a case of waiting for your solicitor to confirm once done.

Thanks for this update, I had no idea that the process took so long......

Hi, I hope you might be able to advise please. I have a freehold house and the following restriction is on the register of title:
"(09.09.2015) Restriction: No disposition of the registered estate (other than a charge) by the proprietor of the registered estate or by the proprietor of any registered charge, not being a charge registered before the entry of this restriction, is to be registered without a certificate signed by the proprietor for the time being of the estate registered under title number XXXX or their conveyancer that the provisions of clause 77 of a transfer dated XXX 2015 referred to in the charges register have been complied with or do not apply to this disposition."
I have accessed title number XXXX and the proprietor referred to appears to be a housing association but there is no clause 77 mentioned on this document in the charges register or anywhere in that document. That particular title covers the land around the address of my property and discusses things like covenants.
Do you know how I could go about finding out what clause 77 is and finding out exactly what restriction this puts on me selling my property please?
Many thanks for your help.

You’d need to apply by post for a copy of the Transfer referred to in the C Charges register and shown as ‘filed’

Hi,
Assume this is a common question but can't find an answer.
My mother recently passed away and we are in the process of dealing with her estate which goes equally to my 2 brothers and I. We may not sell the house, which she fully owned with no mortgage or loan against it, immediately but intend to in the relatively short term. My question is how long can the house remain in my mothers' name (we have a grant of probate) before it must be changed as moving to tenants in common is going to be a faff in the current situation especially if only for a short time.
Thanks.

Indefinitely - the death, sadly, and granting of probate are both factual. As such they can be proven at any time as needed, namely on sale/purchase or if the executor transfers to the beneficiary. 

We would always encourage that the register is updated but the main focus tends to be on managing the estate/personal affairs and ensuring the property is kept saf3/secure. Those things don’t rely on who is registered as the owner
