I acquired my flat on 2 January and the transaction details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Hilton said it would be concluded inside ten days. Are transfers in Hilton particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hilton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not usually top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with 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 should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Hilton is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Hilton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hilton you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hilton may ascertain 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 property.
Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Hilton with the purpose of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Hilton can be avoided if you appoint lawyers as soon as you market your property and ask them to put together the leasehold documentation which will be required by the purchasers’ lawyers. If there is a history of any disputes with your freeholder or managing agents it is essential that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be warry about purchasing a property where a dispute is unsettled. You may need to swallow your pride and pay any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to the buyers completing the purchase. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled ahead of the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You will still have to reveal particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as over as opposed to unsettled. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s permission? Have you, for example installed wooden flooring? Most leases in Hilton state that internal structural alterations or addition of wooden flooring calls for a licence from the Landlord approving such works. If you dont have the paperwork to hand you should not contact the landlord without checking with your lawyer before hand. A minority of Hilton leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this applies to your lease, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the purchasers or their solicitors. The majority of landlords or Management Companies in Hilton levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management information can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The average time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Hilton.
