Just acquired a terraced house in Morriston , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Morriston conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are addressed.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Morriston I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Morriston for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
