Just acquired a terraced house in Winchelsea , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Winchelsea conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the post completion formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Winchelsea is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I only have Seventy years remaining on my lease in Winchelsea. I now wish to get lease extension but my landlord is absent. What should I do?
If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will enable the lease to be lengthened by the Court. You will be obliged to demonstrate that you or your lawyers have used your best endeavours to track down the landlord. On the whole a specialist should be useful to try and locate and to produce a report which can be used as proof that the landlord can not be located. It is advisable to get professional help from a conveyancer both on proving the landlord’s absence and the vesting order request to the County Court overseeing Winchelsea.

Developers have suggested I use a lawyer and I've received an estimate from them. It's nearly £300 less expensive than my own Winchelsea conveyancer. Should I use them?
Housebuilders normally have panels of conveyancing practitioners who are quick and who know the builder's documentation and lawyer. As many developers offer an incentive to use their approved conveyancing practitioner for this reason, any increased fees can be avoided and a builder will not recommend a conveyancing factory and run the risk of having the conveyancing delayed when they need an exchange in 28 days. A counter-argument for not agreeing to use the recommended conveyancing practitioner is that they may be hesitant to fight for your interests for fear of alienating the housebuilder. If you worry that this may be the case you should remain with your high street Winchelsea conveyancing practitioner.
