This question may be naive but I am new to the home buying as a first time buyer of a two bedroom flat in Wealdstone. Do I pick up the keys to the house on the completion date from my conveyancer? If so, I will use a local conveyancing solicitor in Wealdstone?

There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion. Your solicitors will transfer the completion advance to the seller's conveyancers, and once they have received this, you will be called to pick up the keys from the property Agents and move into your new home. This tends to happen between 1 and 3pm.

I am the sole beneficiary of my late mum's estate and I have everything in my name alone, including the house in Wealdstone. Conveyancing formalities meant that the Land Registry date was in January. I plan to dispose of the house. I understand that there is a Mortgage Lenders 6 month 'rule', which means that my proprietorship could be regarded the same way as though I had purchased the house in January. Do I have to wait half a year to sell?

The CML handbook requires conveyancers to: "report to us immediately if the owner or registered proprietor has been registered for less than six months." By the strict wording you could be affected by that. How practical a view banks take of it, depend on the mortgage company as this requirement is principally there to pick up on subsales or the quick reselling of property.

I have today made my last payment due on my mortgage with Santander. I assume I don't need a Wealdstone conveyancer on the Santander panel to discharge the mortgage at the Land Registry. Please confirm.

If you have finished paying off your Santander mortgage, they may send you evidence showing that you have paid it off. Alternatively they may notify the Land Registry directly. The Land Registry need to see this evidence before they will remove the Santander mortgage from the register. Santander, and any evidence they send you, will determine the action you need to take. In cases where no conveyancer is acting for you and you have paid off your mortgage:

1. but are not moving to another property
2. where Santander has sent the Land Registry the discharge electronically, and
3. Santander has instructed the Land Registry to do so

I completed on my flat on 16 April and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Wealdstone advises it should be recorded in less than a month. Are titles in Wealdstone particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Wealdstone is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
