Just bought a detached house in Hebden Bridge , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Hebden Bridge conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Hebden Bridge registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property so post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Hebden Bridge is where the house is located. Can you offer any advice?

Flying freeholds in Hebden Bridge are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Hebden Bridge you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Hebden Bridge 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.
