I require conveyancing for an apartment in a relatively new development (6 years old) in Hilperton. Almost all the properties have already been disposed of. Is it strictly necessary to order conveyancing searches as part of conveyancing in Hilperton?
A big part of the Hilperton legal transfer of property is the conveyancing searches. There are a large number of search providers who offer Hilperton conveyancing searches, as well direct from the local authority. These are usually referred to as personal search providers and they produce, not surprisingly, personal searches. Nevertheless, all Local Authority Search conveyancing products have one thing in common - they must obtain their data from the local authoritative source.
My aunt passed away last year and as sole heir and executor I was left the property in Hilperton. The house had a relatively small loan remaining of approximately £4500. I want to transfer the title deeds into my name whilst I re-mortgage to Kent Reliance, pay off the mortgage. Is this allowed?
Where you intend to refinance then Kent Reliance will require that you use a conveyancer on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel.

I completed on my apartment on 11 October and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Hilperton advises it should be concluded in less than a month. Are transfers in Hilperton particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hilperton registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
