Can you explain why leasehold purchase conveyancing in Peterborough is more expensive?

If it is a flat there will be a management company in existence and the accounts of this will need to be checked and enquiries raised to ensure it is operating efficiently and that all monies due have been paid by the Seller to the company and if not ensuring that money is paid up to date or the appropriate undertakings obtained.

I purchased my apartment on 3 September and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Peterborough said it would be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Peterborough uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Peterborough registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Peterborough is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Peterborough are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Peterborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Peterborough 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 premises.
I'm purchasing a property in Peterborough. I can find my conveyancer's company on the Law Society's list, but I can't locate my conveyancer's name on the list. Is this a big problem?
Not all staff in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. As long there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the work, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
