I got the keys to my flat on 1 May and my personal details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Thame expressed confidence that it would be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Thame uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Thame is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet 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 the application to be prioritised.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Thame is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?
Flying freeholds in Thame are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Thame you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Thame may decide 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 property.
