If you have recently purchased a flat on the Barbican Estate, the transfer of the long lease of your flat (together with any mortgage of the flat which you have taken out) must be registered with the Comptroller and City Solicitor (with the relevant registration fee) within one month in accordance with the terms of the lease. This should normally be dealt with by your solicitor. The transfer of any long term car parking or baggage store agreement should also be registered with the Comptroller and City Solicitor.
Moving out
If you are moving from the Barbican Estate and you have a licence for
- Car bay licence
- Bicycle locker licence
- Baggage store licence
you will need to contact the Barbican Estate Office and give three months notice.
If you have a long term agreement in respect of a car parking bay or baggage store, you may be able to sell it on to the purchaser of your flat, or (with the consent of the Barbican Estate Office and in accordance with the terms of the agreement) to another long lessee.
If you own the long lease of a flat and decide to move out and sublet the flat, any tenancy which you grant must also be registered with the Comptroller and City Solicitor.
