Just bought a terraced house in Twickenham Park , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Twickenham Park conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Twickenham Park is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £235,500 and found one round the corner in Twickenham Park I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Twickenham Park in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
I have been pointed in your direction by a number of estate agents in Twickenham Park to get a quote from a solicitor on your site. Is there a financial upside for Estate Agents to promote your services ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers to this site. We thought it would be too underhand to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why am I not getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
