As far as conveyancing in Aldershot registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any other parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Should you need a mortgage that many years may be problematic. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you.
