I am under pressure from the executor of a property in Slade Green to exchange within four weeks. What can be done to speed up the conveyancing process?
First, If the seller is applying pressure to sign contracts it is advisable to make sure that your solicitor is familiar with the area as they will benefit local relationships and intelligence. It is even conceivable that they could have handled previousproperties in the same street. You would be best advised to use a Slade Green conveyancing lawyer. Second, ensure that the conveyancing firm is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is understood that just under twenty per cent of Slade Green conveyancing deals are frustrated or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s solicitor was not on their banks member panel. This can often result in the home move being delayed by as much as three weeks. It is claimed that this issue impacts in the region of one hundred thousand home moves every year. Most Slade Green conveyancing practices can not act for certain lenders so do check at the outset.
Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Slade Green , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Slade Green conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Slade Green registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place after the new owner is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am looking for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Slade Green I like with amenity areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Slade Green suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a home loan that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the premises for at least twenty four months you could 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 lawyer regarding this matter.
I have been pointed in your direction by a few selling agents in Slade Green to locate a solicitor using your seach tool. What’s the financial incentive for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers rather than a competitor’s?

Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
