I completed on my flat on 9 July and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Littleborough advises it will be registered inside ten days. Are properties in Littleborough uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Littleborough registration formalities.

Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if 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.

I am purchasing my first flat in Littleborough with a mortgage from Coventry Building Society. The builders refused to reduce the amount so I negotiated 6k of fixtures and fittings instead. The estate agent advised me not inform my conveyancer about this side-deal as it may put at risk my mortgage with the bank. Is this normal?.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Littleborough is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Littleborough are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Littleborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Littleborough may determine 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.

As co-executor for the will of my grandfather I am disposing of a house in Monmouth but live in Littleborough. My solicitor (approximately 260 miles awayhas requested that I sign a stat dec before completion. Could you suggest a conveyancing practitioner in Littleborough who can witness this legal document for me?

strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally any notary public or solicitor will be fine regardless of whether they are located in Littleborough
