I am need of leasehold conveyancing for a flat in a fairly new development (6 years old) in Woodcote Green. Almost all the appartments are already disposed of. Do I need carry out the local searches for my conveyancing in Woodcote Green?
If you are acquiring a property with the assistance of a mortgage, your mortgage company will need some (many) of the searches so you'll have no choice. If not, then Woodcote Green conveyancing searches are for you to decide upon. No doubt your conveyancer, will ’encourage’, perhaps in the strongest possible terms, that you should not go ahead without searches, but he or she is duty bound in this regard. One thing to bear in mind; if you are likely to sell the house one day, it may be of interest to your future buyer what the searches contain. Sometimes houses with no practical issues can still throw up adverse search results. But if you insist that your lawyer to proceed without searches then your lawyer will have to follow your instructions or you will need to change to another solicitor for your conveyancing in Woodcote Green.
Have completed on a a terraced house in Woodcote Green , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Woodcote Green conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Woodcote Green registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties.

I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £195,000 and found one near me in Woodcote Green I like with amenity areas and station nearby, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Woodcote Green in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Reduce the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
I am in need of some leasehold conveyancing in Woodcote Green. Before I set the wheels in motion I would like to find out the remaining lease term.
Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and most are in Woodcote Green - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

My partner and I have just had an offer agreed on a property and had an appointment on Friday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They have informed me that when it comes to choosing a conveyancing practitioner that if they are not on their approved panel of conveyancing practitioners then we will have to pay out an extra charge of £250+. This is is due to the fact that they would then have to appoint a solicitor to act for them in addition to the one we select for ourselves and we are liable for their costs. I have requested the Post Office to furnish me with a list so I can obtain quotes only from their approved solicitors but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. Is there a simple way of finding out who is on a lender panel?
You should ask the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Thereafter ask the solicitor of your choice whether they meet the criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office previously. Where the answer to those is yes, then just clarify this with the Post Office. Alternatively please use our search facility and we may be able to find you a conveyancer in Woodcote Green on the panel for the Post Office.
