I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Great Missenden. Almost all the flats are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the local searches as part of conveyancing in Great Missenden?
If you getting a loan, your mortgage company will require some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Great Missenden conveyancing searches are optional. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps strongly, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you demand that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or it may be necessary to instruct a new lawyer for your conveyancing in Great Missenden.
I purchased my house on 7 June and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Great Missenden said it should be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Great Missenden particularly slow to register?

Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
