Just acquired a terraced house in Hove , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Hove conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Hove registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property thus registration formalities is not always an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Hove is the location of the property. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Hove are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hove you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hove 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 premises.
