My brother-in-law has suggested I instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Colliers Wood. I I am struggling to find out if they are on the Coventry Building Society conveyancing panel. Can you help?

I bought my flat on 1 January and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Colliers Wood advises it would be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Colliers Wood particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Colliers Wood is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not typically primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build enquiries that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Colliers Wood
-
The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Colliers Wood is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can give?

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Colliers Wood you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Colliers Wood may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
