I moved into my house on 8 October and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Coedpoeth advises it would be dealt with inside ten days. Are transfers in Coedpoeth particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Coedpoeth registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Should I be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a nationwide conveyancing firm as opposed to a local Coedpoeth conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many service providers, often suggestions from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. Nevertheless there are lots of players in a conveyancing matter; estate agents, mortgage brokers and mortgage companies might all recommend solicitors to instruct. Sometimes the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but sometimes there exists a financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to select your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that the majority of mortgage providers operate an approved list of law firms you are obliged to use for the lender related work in your house move.

I work for a long established estate agency in Coedpoeth where we have witnessed a few flat sales derailed due to leases having less than 80 years remaining. I have received conflicting advice from local Coedpoeth conveyancing solicitors. Please can you clarify whether the vendor of a flat can start the lease extension formalities for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
As long as the seller has been the owner for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to start the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer need not have to wait 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment needs to be completed before, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
An alternative approach is to extend the lease informally by agreement with the landlord either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the buyer.
