Just bought a terraced house in Tewkesbury , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Tewkesbury conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Tewkesbury registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property so 'speed' is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Tewkesbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Tewkesbury come to us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Tewkesbury tend to 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 property lawyers 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 Tewkesbury or who has acted in the same development.

Back In 2008, I bought a leasehold house in Tewkesbury. Conveyancing and Aldermore mortgage went though with no issue. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. It included a ground rent demand for rent dating back to 1997. The conveyancing practitioner in Tewkesbury who acted for me is not around. Any advice?
First make enquiries of the Land Registry to make sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to incur the fees of a Tewkesbury conveyancing practitioner to do this as it can be done on-line for a few pound. Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the legitimate freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 the limitation period for recovery of ground rent is six years.

Me and my partner are buying a four room first floor flatin Tewkesbury with a mortgage from a lender. We have a lawyer in Tewkesbury however our bank advise he's not listed on their "panel". We have to appoint from the our bank panel firms or stay with our Tewkesbury conveyancer and incur the extra fees for one of their panel ones to represent them. This seems very unfair; Can we not simply insist that our lender use our Tewkesbury lawyer?
No, not really. The mortgage company home loan offered to you is subject to conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the bank's conveyancing panel. in the past, most banks had open panels, including most conveyancing solicitors in Tewkesbury : a mortgagee could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your lawyer to apply to be on the conveyancing panel for your lender.
