Have purchased a a semi-detached house in Little Hampton , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Little Hampton conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are addressed.

As far as conveyancing in Little Hampton is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a house I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a quick, chain free conveyancing. Little Hampton is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can impart?

Flying freeholds in Little Hampton are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Little Hampton you would need to get your solicitor to go 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 Little Hampton may determine 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 residence.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Little Hampton. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.

Assuming the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Little Hampton - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

My brother is purchasing a leasehold flat in Little Hampton. He has received a fee estimate by the conveyancer suggested by the selling agents and it came to £1245 . It was 9 years ago since I sold and bought a home and the fee was £just under five hundred pounds. Have fees really gone up that much?

What does the conveyancing estimate include? Is it just for the legal fees, or what you will be paying in total (for example Little Hampton searches, land registry fees, etc)
