I bought my flat on 2 March and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Crawley said it will be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Crawley uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Crawley registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Crawley is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?
Flying freeholds in Crawley are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Crawley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Crawley may ascertain 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.
Am I better off to use a Crawley conveyancing lawyer who is local to the property I am buying? We have a good friend who can conduct the conveyancing however they are based 200miles away.
The benefit of a high street Crawley conveyancing firm is that you can attend the office to execute documents, deliver your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local intelligence which is a bonus. That being said nothing is more important than finding someone that will do a good and efficient job. If other friends have instructed your friend and in the main were content that must outweigh using an unfamiliar Crawley conveyancing lawyer solely due to them being local.
