Just acquired a detached house in Bishopsworth , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Bishopsworth conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Bishopsworth registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises thus post completion formalities is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Bishopsworth is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Bishopsworth are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bishopsworth you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Bishopsworth 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 residence.
