Have purchased a a terraced house in Pevensey , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Pevensey conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Pevensey 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 whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Pevensey is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Pevensey are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Pevensey you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Pevensey may decide 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.
