Have completed on a a detached house in Blackpool , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my title? My Blackpool conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Blackpool registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £195,000 and identified one round the corner in Blackpool I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 49 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Blackpool suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.

Unfortunately there is no law that requires fixed charges for administrative tasks. Neither is there any legal time frame by which they are required to provide answers.
