I bought my home on 16 February and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Lyddington advises it would be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Lyddington particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Lyddington registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £305k and found one close by in Lyddington I like with a park and station nearby, however it's only got 51 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Lyddington suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you could 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 and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor concerning this.
My partner has suggested that I use his conveyancing solicitors in Lyddington. Should I use them?

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in Lyddington with the intention of saving time on the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lyddington can be bypassed if you instruct lawyers the minute your agents start marketing the property and ask them to collate the leasehold documentation which will be required by the buyers’ conveyancers. The majority of freeholders or managing agents in Lyddington charge for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should enquire as to the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most common reason for delay in leasehold conveyancing in Lyddington. A minority of Lyddington leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, it would be prudent to notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s consent? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Lyddington leases often stipulate that internal structural alterations or installing wooden flooring necessitate a licence issued by the Landlord acquiescing to such alterations. Should you dont have the consents to hand you should not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer in the first instance. You believe that you know the number of years remaining on your lease but you should double-check by asking your lawyers. A purchaser's lawyer will not be happy to advise their client to proceed with the purchase of a leasehold property the lease term is under 75 years. It is therefore important at an early stage that you identify whether the lease for your property needs extending. If it does, contact your solicitors before you put your home on the market for sale.
