It includes an Aerial Photograph, Planning Applications, Land Use, Mobile Phone Masts, Rights of Way, the local Housing Market, Council Tax Banding, the demographics of People living in the area, the dominant type of Housing, the Average House Prices, Crime details, St James Education with maps and statistics, Local Amenities and other useful information concerning St James.
Have purchased a a detached house in St James , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My St James conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the registration is addressed.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in St James registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. St James is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?
Flying freeholds in St James are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside St James you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in St James may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
