Have completed on a a terraced house in Farnham Royal , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Farnham Royal conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Farnham Royal registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I was recommended by three or four local property agents in Farnham Royal to choose a solicitor on your site. What’s the financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your site ahead of a competitor’s?
We refuse to offer any commission for directing people to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission as a client could think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I receiving any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
My father-in-law has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Farnham Royal. Should I choose my own conveyancer?

My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Farnham Royal. Conveyancing and Barclays mortgage went though with no issue. A letter has just been received from someone claiming to own the reversionary interest in the property. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1998. The conveyancing practitioner in Farnham Royal who acted for me is not around. Do I pay?
The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is indeed the registered owner of the freehold reversion. There is no need to instruct a Farnham Royal conveyancing lawyer to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. You should note that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
