I got the keys to my flat on 4 February and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Hopton advises it will be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Hopton uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Hopton registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I have offered on two weeks back in what should have been a quick, no chain conveyancing. Hopton is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Hopton are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Hopton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hopton may determine 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 premises.

We own a leasehold flat in Hopton. Conveyancing was finalised in 2009. I have heard that I mustn’t let the lease length get too short. What is the reasoning?
Hopton domestic long term leases are for a prescribed term - normally just under one hundred years when they commenced. However many flats in Hopton were constructed or converted 35 or more years ago and so these leases now have under 80 years left to run. That may sound like plenty of time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage lenders tend to need leases to have at least seventy five years unexpired to adequate security. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are nearing eighty years. To increase the marketability of your property you should be considering whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also significant benefits to doing so before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the premium to be paid to extend starts to get a lot more expensive.
