Is it possible for conveyancing in Hilton to be concluded inside 28 days?
In a situation where you are under a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local contacts and insight. It is even conceivable that they could have transacted otherhomes in the same road. You would be best advised to use a Hilton conveyancing solicitor. Second, make sure that the conveyancing firm is on the lender panel. It is claimed that nearly one in five of Hilton conveyancing transactions are delayed or derailed after discovering a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their banks panel. In many cases this discovery resulted in the conveyancing being frustrated by almost three weeks. It is understood that this issue impacts approximately 100,000 home moves annually. Almost all Hilton conveyancing practices can not represent certain banks so do check as early as possible.

What happens if my lawyer’s firm is expelled from the Aldermore Solicitor panel ahead of completing my conveyancing in Hilton?
First, this is a very rare occurrence. In most cases even where a law firm is removed off of a panel the lender would allow the completion to go ahead as the lender would appreciate the difficulties that they would place you in if you have to instruct a new solicitor days before completion. In a worst case scenario where the lender insists that you instruct a new firm then it is possible for a very good lawyer to expedite the conveyancing albeit that you may pay a significant premium for this. The analogous situation is where a buyer instructs a lawyer, exchanges contracts and the law firm is shut down by a regulator such as the SRA. Again, in this situation you can find lawyers who can troubleshoot their way to bring the conveyancing to a satisfactory conclusion - albeit for a fee.
I moved into my house on 12 March and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Hilton said it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Hilton particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Hilton registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Hilton I like with open areas and railway links in the vicinity, however it only has 61 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Hilton suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
