Have purchased a a terraced house in Codsall , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Codsall conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration is addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Codsall registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Codsall I like with a park and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Codsall in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
