I am buying a house for cash in Glenfield. I have lived for the last dozen years in Glenfield. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I know the road and vicinity intimately must I have all the conveyancing searches?

I moved into my flat on 1 November and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Glenfield said it should be concluded in less than a month. Are properties in Glenfield uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Glenfield is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. Currently roughly 80% of submission 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 has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not typically top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a property I put an offer in two weeks back in what should have been a quick, chain free conveyancing. Glenfield is the location of the property. What do you suggest?

Flying freeholds in Glenfield are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Glenfield 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 Glenfield 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.
