Have completed on a a detached house in Rishton , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Rishton conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Rishton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

How does conveyancing in Rishton differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Rishton approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because developers in Rishton typically buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct conveyancers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Rishton or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Rishton is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Rishton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Rishton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Rishton 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 property.

Am I better off to instruct a Rishton conveyancing lawyer based in the location that I am hoping to buy? We have a good friend who can conduct the legal formalities but his firm is located 400kilometers drive away.

The benefit of a local Rishton conveyancing practice is that you can visit the firm to sign paperwork, hand in your ID and apply pressure on them if necessary. They will also have local knowledge which is a bonus. However it's more important to get someone that will do a good and efficient job. If you know people who used your friend and they were happy that must trump using an unknown Rishton conveyancing lawyer just because they are round the corner.
