I acquired my flat on 13 May and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in West Molesey advises it should be formalised inside ten days. Are properties in West Molesey uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in West Molesey registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property thus 'speed' is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

About to purchase a new build flat in West Molesey. Conveyancing is a frightening process 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 legal work.

Here is a sample of a few leasehold new build questions that you can expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in West Molesey

The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Please supply a car parking plan.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. West Molesey is where the house is located. Can you offer any assistance?

Flying freeholds in West Molesey are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside West Molesey you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds thoroughly. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in West Molesey 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 property.

We are in the throes of selling our flat in West Molesey. Conveyancing is fine but we have been asked to pay an extortionate amount from the landlord. So far we have paid £268 for a leasehold management information and then another £200 plus VAT for supplemental questions supplied by the purchaser's solicitor.

Your lawyer will unlikely have any say over the extent of the charges for this information however the average fee for the information for West Molesey leasehold property is £360. For West Molesey conveyancing transactions it is standard for the seller to cover the charges. The landlord or their agents are under no statutory obligation to address such questions most will be content to do so - albeit often at exorbitant prices out of proportion to the work involved. Unfortunately there is no law that mandates fixed charges for administrative tasks. There is no set time limit by which they are duty bound to supply the information.
