I am obtaining a offer of a home loan from Lloyds. I would like to use a Licensed Conveyancer in Felpham. Does the Lloyds Solicitor panel allow for conveyancers regulated by the CLC?

Have purchased a a detached house in Felpham , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Felpham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Felpham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I am tempted by the attractive purchase price for a two flats in Felpham which have in the region of 50 years remaining on the lease term. Should I regard a short lease as a deal breaker?

A lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As a lease gets shorter the saleability of the lease deteriorates and results in it becoming more costly to acquire a lease extension. For this reason it is generally wise to increase the term of the lease. It is often difficult to sell a property with a short lease because mortgage companies may be unwilling to lend money on properties of this type. Lease enfranchisement can be a protracted process. We recommend you get professional assistance from a solicitor and surveyor with experience in this arena.
