Just acquired a detached house in Towcester , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Towcester conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Towcester registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where 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 the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Towcester differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Towcester approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because developers in Towcester usually buy the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Towcester or who has acted in the same development.

Frank (my husband) and I may need to rent out our Towcester ground floor flat for a while due to a new job. We used a Towcester conveyancing practice in 2004 but they have since shut and we did not have the foresight to get any guidance as to whether the lease permits subletting. How do we find out?
Even though your previous Towcester conveyancing solicitor is no longer around you can review your lease to check if it allows you to sublet the property. The rule is that if the lease is silent, subletting is allowed. Quite often there is a prerequisite that you must seek consent via your landlord or other appropriate person before subletting. The net result is you not allowed to sublet in the absence of prior consent. Such consent is not allowed to be unreasonably refused ore delayed. If the lease does not allow you to sublet you should ask your landlord if they are willing to waive this restriction.
