Having sold my house in Gillingham last November but our buyer keeps e-mailing every few hours to moan that her solicitor needs to hear from myconveyancer. What are the post completion sale legalities now that I have sold?
Post completion of your disposal your conveyancer is obliged to forward the transfer documentation and all additional paperwork to the buyer’s conveyancer. If applicable, your solicitor should also confirm that the home loan has been discharged to the purchasers solicitors. There are no post completion procedures unique to conveyancing in Gillingham.

Just bought a semi-detached house in Gillingham , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Gillingham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Gillingham is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises thus registration formalities is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one near me in Gillingham I like with amenity areas and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Gillingham suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
