Just bought a terraced house in Hanwell , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Hanwell conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Hanwell registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Hanwell is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Hanwell are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hanwell you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hanwell 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 premises.
My fiance and I may need to let out our Hanwell basement flat for a while due to a new job. We instructed a Hanwell conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease prohibits the subletting of the flat. How do we find out?
Even though your last Hanwell conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can check your lease to see if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the deeds are non-specific, subletting is permitted. There may be a precondition that you are obliged to seek consent from your landlord or other appropriate person in advance of subletting. This means that you cannot sublet in the absence of first obtaining consent. The consent must not not be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
