Just acquired a semi-detached house in Brighton , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Brighton conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration is addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Brighton registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not always an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a flat up to £245,000 and identified one round the corner in Brighton I like with amenity areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Brighton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a short lease?
Should you require a home loan the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the premises for at least 2 years you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
