Have completed on a a detached house in Lakenheath , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Lakenheath conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Lakenheath registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not always top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Lakenheath differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Lakenheath approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is completed. This is because house builders in Lakenheath usually acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancing solicitors as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are used to new build conveyancing in Lakenheath or who has acted in the same development.

Is the landlord entitled to charge an administration fee for a leasehold conveyance in Lakenheath?

Although the landlord is under no legal obligation to address such questions the majority will be content to do so. They are entitled to charge a reasonable administration fee for responding to questions or supplying documentation. There is no set fee. The average fee for the paperwork that you are referring to is £350, in some transactions it is above £800.
