@Land_Registry Just trying to find out how do we know if something is being expedited?  My solicitor put in a request to expedite a new registration on title BL158365 as it is now holding up the subsequent sale of the property with our purchaser threatening to pull out if it isn't completed by mid-September. Is this normal for a new registration? I didn't realise that this process took so long and had such a potential to cause financial problem for me.

@Land_Registry sorry to be a pain but do we know how far away things are? I'm currently dealing with an irate purchaser on this title who has threatened to walk away and now I'm trying to refinance on a separate property New Title: BL158365 the lender is telling me they I can't refinance as it isn't registered to me yet? I've asked my solicitor but they've received no correspondence, is there any way you could check?

Thanks

I have recently received the grant of probate for my late mother and I am now in the process of updating the land registry. Am I right in thinking the valuation of the property for the purposes of the fee would be the same as the valuation used when applying for probate?
Thanks

When downloading title registers and plans from the Land Registry website, are all aspects of these included or could any be missing?

We're researching a property we'd like to purchase and the terraced neighbour has a right of way across the land.

We have downloaded the Title Register and Plan from Land Registry to try and gain a better idea of the exact terms of the Right of Access agreement. From the Land Registry website I can see a mention (below) of the terms but there's no 'brown' right of access shown on the diagram it mentions (also below). 

occupiers of the adjoining property Number [REMOVED ADDRESS]  aforesaid a right of way on foot over and along the path way coloured brown on the said plan Subject to contributing in equal shares with the Purchasers and their successors in title towards the cost and expense of keeping the said path way in good repair and condition

It's an older property (~100 years old), but we're curious as to why the shared pathway isn't on the deeds. Could this cause issues, or is it simply the case this information might be contained elsewhere?

It's probably a simple one, but new to me and I'm keen to make sure I'm not missing anything.

If that’s the current market value then yes

Should be a simple answer at the end of the entry - is there a Note stating the deed plan is filed? If there is then you can apply by post for a copy as the online guidance explains

Hi, thanks for responding. Sorry, it won't let me quote the above. 

The lease is from 2004, dated 18 February 2004. 

The title number is: WYK759741 if this helps at all. 

We had an application to amend submitted at the start of the month but that was completed on the 9th. The freehold title was amended also. I can see we had a further contact as well but that was replied to/resolved on 17th so things are hopefully ok and moving for the chain again 

Hi, thank you, these dates align with the contact our solicitor had with the LR. Sadly, our buyer's solicitor said on the 20th that they were unhappy with the responses/resolution and were going to contact the LR again on the morning of the 23rd (yesterday). Is it possible to see if they did make contact yesterday? It's worrying if they haven't when this is the only issue that requires resolving.  

If they have then they’ve not referred to the specific title or used the same email/contact thread 

Hi @Land_Registry - sorry to be a pain but we have subsequently been advised that a follow-up enquiry was emailed through by our solicitor on behalf of our buyer's solicitor at some stage on Tuesday 24th. Are you able to advise that this was received and what stage the enquiry may be at (i.e. if the LR are happy to accept that a change/clarification can be made)? Unfortunately we are struggling to get hold of people our end to get any updates on this. 

Nothing received referring specifically quoting that title number. If they have then they’d have a reference to quote. But either way you are looking at at least a 5-7 day wait for it to be considered I suspect 

Hi @Land_Registry - just following up to see if there is anything new you can tell us, as our buyer's have now said they will collapse the chain if they don't get the response/changes they want from the LR. As far as we know, our solicitor received a new response from the LR on the 9th September, which still did not satisfy our buyer's wants, so raised an enquiry straight back and was told a Registrar would be in touch. He's not heard anything since then regarding if they enquiry has been picked up, looked into etc. and things are now on the verge of collapse (as are we)... is there any update you are able to give? 

The title number is: WYK759741

Hi @Land_Registry just wondering if downloading the £3 title on the LR site would trigger the Land Registry alert service on a property, or would that just be official searches, changes to title etc? Would it also tell me who made the search? 

Many thanks in advance for your help.

No, it doesn't.

Hello @Land_Registry, I am new here at the forum. I am currently in the process of buying a property and we are really close to completion. At one point we set the exchange date on last Friday. However, it came up last week that the seller hired an agent to help her sell the property and the agent registered a restriction on the title to protect their fees. The seller's solicitor claims that they applied to have it removed on the 18th of August and they asked to expedite. Despite this, it has not yet been removed and the Land Registry told them the application won't be dealt with until 26th November.

Can you please check for me the progress of the application and when it was submitted. Also, is it possible for you to find out when they asked to expedite, if the expedition has been approved and hopefully a projected completion date for the removal of the restriction. The title number is: EGL271855.

Thanks very much,
Ben

A few weeks ago I downloaded the title for a property, however now when I look, the Land Registry website states "No information available" - is it normal for information to just "disappear" in this way? Title number is LL159582
