Just acquired a semi-detached house in Epsom , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Epsom conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Epsom registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, chain free conveyancing. Epsom is where the house is located. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Epsom are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Epsom you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Epsom 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 property.
