Recently contacted my conveyancing lawyer in Wooburn Green who conducted the legals 18 months ago requesting a conveyancing quote based on an identical type of house move (a leasehold property and a freehold premises) of similar values with a home loan from Alliance & Leicester . It looks as though am now being charged twice the amount. Am I right to be tempted to shop around for an alternative conveyancer?

Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Wooburn Green , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Wooburn Green conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Wooburn Green registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could 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 issue on a house I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, chain free conveyancing. Wooburn Green is the location of the property. What do you suggest?
Flying freeholds in Wooburn Green are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Wooburn Green you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Wooburn Green 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.
