Have purchased a a detached house in Victoria Park , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Victoria Park conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Victoria Park registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Victoria Park is where the house is located. Can you offer any opinion?
Flying freeholds in Victoria Park are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Victoria Park you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Victoria Park 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.
Should I be concerned about brokers that I am dealing with are recommending a web based conveyancing firm rather than a local Victoria Park conveyancing practice?
As with many service providers, often input from relatives can be most helpful. Yet there are many parties with a keen interest in a conveyancing deal; estate agents, financial adviser and mortgage companies might all recommend lawyers to choose. On occasion the conveyancers might be known to one of the organisations as being good in their field, but occasionally there is an underlying financial incentive behind the recommendation. You are at liberty to appoint your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that the majority of lenders have an approved list of lawyers you must use for the lender related work in your transaction.
