Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Brunswick Park , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Brunswick Park conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Brunswick Park is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Brunswick Park. Before I set the wheels in motion I want to be sure as to the number of years remaining on the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and 99.9% are in Brunswick Park - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

To what extent are Brunswick Park conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to publish transparent conveyancing figures?
Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are set rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their fees to clients.The Law Society have a practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not to be interpreted as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Brunswick Park or across England and Wales.
