I got the keys to my apartment on 3 March and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Hednesford said it should be formalised in less than a month. Are titles in Hednesford particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Hednesford registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I have been on the look out for a flat up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Hednesford I like with open areas and transport links nearby, the downside is that it's only got 52 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hednesford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will likely be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
My partner is buying a shared ownership flat in Hednesford. He was given a quote by the property lawyer recommended by the estate agents totaling £1245 . It was eight years ago since I sold and purchased a house and the fee was £600. Have costs really escalated to that extent?
What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Hednesford searches, land registry fees, etc)
