Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Arley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Arley conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Arley registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I have just started marketing my ground floor apartment in Arley. Conveyancing has not commenced, however I have recently received a quarterly maintenance charge demand – what should I do?
Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should discharge the invoice as usual given that all ground rent and service charges will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
