Just acquired a terraced house in Leighton Buzzard , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Leighton Buzzard conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Leighton Buzzard registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country.

Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Leighton Buzzard differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Leighton Buzzard approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because developers in Leighton Buzzard tend to buy the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Leighton Buzzard or who has acted in the same development.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Leighton Buzzard is where the house is located. Can you offer any guidance?
Flying freeholds in Leighton Buzzard are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Leighton Buzzard 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 Leighton Buzzard 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 residence.
What is the difference between surveying and conveyancing in Leighton Buzzard?
Conveyancing - in Leighton Buzzard or anywhere in England and Wales - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are purchasing and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to fix the problems prior to you move in.
