Having been suggested to visit your company we were about to go ahead with a conveyancing solicitor in Osterley Park found on your site but have come across some other estimates via the web look cheaper – why is this?
You can find numerous conveyancing companies marketing what appear to be very low prices. You should think long and hard as to how much you respect your own move to want to be penny wise pound foolish with regard to the quality of the conveyancing. Some embed fees deep into the terms of business. The conveyancers that we put forward for conveyancing in Osterley Park neverdo this.

I acquired my flat on 11 September and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Osterley Park advises it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Osterley Park particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Osterley Park registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am looking for a flat up to £305k and found one close by in Osterley Park I like with open areas and station nearby, however it's only got 52 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Osterley Park 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 home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the price by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current owner has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign 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 solicitor regarding this.
