I completed on my house on 12 October and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Hope expressed confidence that it should be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Hope uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Hope registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Hope is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Hope are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hope you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hope 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.
