Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Shiremoor , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Shiremoor conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the post completion formalities are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Shiremoor is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Shiremoor is where the house is located. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Shiremoor are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Shiremoor you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Shiremoor 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.
