Just bought a detached house in Pimlico , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Pimlico conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Pimlico registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Pimlico I like with amenity areas and railway links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Pimlico suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a mortgage the shortness of the lease will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you could request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor regarding this matter.
Should I be suspicious about 3rd parties that I am dealing with are suggesting an online conveyancing firm as opposed to a High Street Pimlico conveyancing practice?

However, bear in mind that the majority of mortgage providers operate an approved list of solicitors you have to use for the mortgage aspect of your home move.
