There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Coniston registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Coniston I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Coniston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?

Should you require a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.
