I bought my flat on 1 November and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Ivybridge advises it will be registered inside ten days. Are transfers in Ivybridge particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Ivybridge is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Ivybridge is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Even where you use a solicitor outside Ivybridge you must be sure that your lawyer goes 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 Ivybridge 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 residence.
