Just bought a semi-detached house in Eastleigh , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Eastleigh conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Eastleigh is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am looking for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Eastleigh I like with a park and transport links nearby, however it's only got 61 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Eastleigh in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term may be an issue. Reduce the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.

My husband and I are novice buyers - agreed a price, yet the estate agent informed us that the vendor will only go ahead if we appoint their chosen lawyers as they need a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Eastleigh
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a genuine buyer is counter productive. Contact the owners directly and make sure they understand (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)but you will continue to instruct your own,trusted Eastleigh conveyancing firm - as opposed tothose that will earn the estate agent a commission or meet his conveyancing targets set by head office.
