My previous solicitor has given a fee calculation of £1350 for fixed fee conveyancing in Whimple. I am selling a modern detached home for £250,000. Are these conveyancing fees excessive? Is it in excess of the average fee for conveyancing in Whimple?

Just acquired a semi-detached house in Whimple , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Whimple conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Whimple registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £245,000 and identified one close by in Whimple I like with open areas and transport links nearby, however it only has 49 remaining years left on the lease. There is not much else in Whimple for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake purchasing a short lease?
If you require a mortgage that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer concerning this.

Don't just go on one estimate. One should seek like-for-like quotes for your conveyancing in Whimple. Then choose one that you are comfortable with and just as important, is on the approved list of the lender that you have applied for a mortgage from.
