Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Greenfield , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Greenfield conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Greenfield registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises therefore registration formalities is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Greenfield is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Greenfield are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Greenfield you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Greenfield may decide 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 residence.
We're new to the buying process - had an offer accepted, yet the agent told us that the vendor will only proceed if we instruct the agent's recommended conveyancers as they want a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a local solicitor accustomed to conveyancing in Greenfield
We suspect that the owner is unaware of this request. Should the vendor desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a serious purchaser is counter productive. Speak to the vendors direct and explain that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you intend to use your preferred Greenfield conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or achieve conveyancing figures demanded by corporate headquarters.
I am hoping to put an offer on a small detached house that seems to be perfect, at a great figure which is making it all the more appealing. I have subsequently found out that the title is leasehold as opposed to freehold. I am assuming that there are issues purchasing a house with a leasehold title in Greenfield. Conveyancing lawyers have are soon to be appointed. Will my lawyers set out the implications of buying a leasehold house in Greenfield ?
The majority of houses in Greenfield are freehold and not leasehold. In this scenario it’s worth having a local solicitor used to dealing with such properties who can assist with the conveyancing process. it is apparent that you are purchasing in Greenfield so you should seriously consider looking for a Greenfield conveyancing solicitor and check that they are used to dealing with leasehold houses. First you will need to check the number of years remaining. Being a tenant you will not be at liberty to do whatever you want with the house. The lease comes with conditions such as obtaining the landlord’spermission to carry out changes to the property. It may be necessary to pay a service charge towards the upkeep of the estate where the property is part of an estate. Your lawyer should report to you on the legal implications.
