Just bought a detached house in Spital , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Spital conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Spital registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am buying a new build flat in Spital. Conveyancing is necessary evil at the best of times but I have never purchased a new build flat before. Can you give me some examples of some of the questions asked in new build conveyancing.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Spital

Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier? Please supply a car parking plan. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?
