Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Reading , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Reading conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Reading registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £235,500 and found one near me in Reading I like with amenity areas and railway links nearby, the downside is that it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Reading 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 need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you may request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
