I bought my house on 4 March and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Walkden said it should be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Walkden particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Walkden registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Walkden is where the house is located. What do you suggest?

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

Developers have suggested I use a conveyancer and I've sought a quote from them. They are almost £400 cheaper than my own Walkden conveyancing practitioner. Should I use them?

Developers often have panels of property lawyers who are quick and who know the developer’s contract and solicitor. Plenty of developers offer an inducement to select a preferred property lawyer for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder won't put forward a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the transaction delayed when they require an exchange within a tight deadline. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended property lawyer is that they may be hesitant to 'push' your interests at the risk of alienating the sellers. Where you have concerns that this may be the case you should remain with your local Walkden conveyancer.
