Just acquired a terraced house in Langford , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Langford conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Langford is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Langford is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Langford are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Langford you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Langford may decide 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.
