Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Hilsea , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Hilsea conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Hilsea registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales.

As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I am employed by a busy estate agent office in Hilsea where we have witnessed a number of flat sales put at risk as a result of short leases. I have received contradictory information from local Hilsea conveyancing solicitors. Could you clarify whether the owner of a flat can commence the lease extension process for the purchaser on completion of the sale?
Provided that the seller has owned the lease for at least 2 years it is possible, to serve a Section 42 notice to commence the lease extension process and assign the benefit of the notice to the purchaser. This means that the buyer can avoid having to sit tight for 2 years for a lease extension. Both sets of lawyers will agree to form of assignment. The assignment has to be done prior to, or at the same time as completion of the sale.
Alternatively, it may be possible to agree the lease extension with the freeholder either before or after the sale. If you are informally negotiating there are no rules and so you cannot insist on the landlord agreeing to grant an extension or transferring the benefit of an agreement to the purchaser.
