Just acquired a terraced house in Northfleet , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Northfleet conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Northfleet registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of submission are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups.

How does conveyancing in Northfleet differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Northfleet approach us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Northfleet usually purchase the real estate, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Northfleet or who has acted in the same development.

Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one close by in Northfleet I like with open areas and station nearby, the downside is that it only has 61 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Northfleet for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?

If you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the property for at least 2 years you can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this.
