Have purchased a a detached house in Neath , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Neath conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the post completion formalities are addressed.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Neath registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

There is not much else in Neath in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a lease with such few years left?

Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
