Just been in touch with my conveyancing solicitor in Chorlton cum Hardy who completed the legal work 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of home move (a leasehold residence and a freehold premises) of almost identical values with a home loan from Lloyds TSB Bank. It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative property lawyer?

I acquired my flat on 3 January and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Chorlton cum Hardy said it will be registered inside ten days. Are transfers in Chorlton cum Hardy uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Chorlton cum Hardy registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £305k and identified one round the corner in Chorlton cum Hardy I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Chorlton cum Hardy suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake buying a lease with such few years left?
If you need a mortgage that many years may be a potential deal breaker. Discount the offer by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.
