Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Gillingham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Gillingham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Gillingham is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

My husband and I are new on the property ladder - agreed a price, but the agent told us that the seller will only proceed if we appoint their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer who is familiar with conveyancing in Gillingham

It is improbable the owners are driving this. Should the owner desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious buyer is going to damage their objectives. Bypass the agents and go straight to the sellers and make the point that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you are going to instruct your preferred Gillingham conveyancing lawyers - as opposed tothe ones that will provide their estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing targets set by corporate headquarters.

We are in the middle of purchasing a house in Gillingham. Conveyancing lawyer has called to say the title is "Leasehold". Should this adversely affect our mortgage valuation?

Gillingham conveyancing does not usually involve leasehold houses. The main consideration here is the unexpired lease term and the ground rent. If there are hundred of years years remaining with a nominal rent, it's almost the same as freehold, so it’s unlikely to impact the marketability too much.

On the flip side, if it's, say, fifty five years it will have a significant effect on the saleability, and probably wouldn't be acceptable to the mortgage company. The length of lease and ground rent will be set out in the lease to be supplied to your property lawyer.
