Just bought a terraced house in Sands End , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Sands End conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Sands End registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Sands End I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 51 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Sands End in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a short lease?
Should you require a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.

Rest assured that regardless, even if this is the rightful landlord, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
