I completed on my flat on 16 April and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Gunnersbury advises it will be registered inside ten days. Are properties in Gunnersbury particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Gunnersbury registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. 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 have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can 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 element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, no chain conveyancing. Gunnersbury is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can impart?
Flying freeholds in Gunnersbury are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Gunnersbury you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Gunnersbury 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 property.
I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two apartments in Gunnersbury both have in the region of forty five years remaining on the leases. should I be concerned?
A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the property for a period of time. As a lease shortens the saleability of the lease decreases and results in it becoming more expensive to extend the lease. For this reason it is advisable to increase the term of the lease. Sometimes it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage companies less inclined to grant a loan on properties of this type. Lease extension can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this arena.
I have given up trying to purchase the freehold in Gunnersbury. Can this matter be resolved via the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal?
