As far as conveyancing in Berkeley registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and found one round the corner in Berkeley I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Berkeley in this price bracket, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error purchasing a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years will be an issue. Discount the offer by the expected lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 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 with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
