Have completed on a a terraced house in Rayleigh , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Rayleigh conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Rayleigh registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not always primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I've recently bought a leasehold property in Rayleigh. Do I have any liability for service charges relating to a period prior to my ownership?
In a situation where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).
