Just bought a detached house in Alford , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Alford conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the registration formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Alford is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Alford I like with a park and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Alford for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you require a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be problematic. Discount the price 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 can ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer regarding this matter.

To what extent are Alford conveyancing solicitors under an obligation to the Law Society to issue transparent conveyancing figures?
Inbuilt into the Solicitors Code of Conduct are prescriptive rules and regulations as to how the Solicitors Regulation Authority (SRA) allow solicitors to publicise their charges to clients.The Law Society have practice note giving advice on how to publicise transparent charges to avoid breaching any such rule. Practice notes are not legal advice issued by the Law Society and is not intended as the only standard of good practice a conveyancing solicitor should adhere to. The Practice Note does, however, represent the Law Society’s view of acceptable practice for publicising conveyancing charges, and accordingly it’s a recommended read for any solicitor or conveyancer in Alford or or elsewhere in the country.
