As far as conveyancing in Northwick Park registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two maisonettes in Northwick Park both have approximately 50 years unexpired on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?
A lease is a right to use the premises for a prescribed time frame. As the lease gets shorter the marketability of the lease deteriorates and it becomes more costly to extend the lease. For this reason it is often a good idea to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficult to sell a property with a short lease as mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a difficult process. We advise that you seek professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
