I need some fast conveyancing in Clapton as I am faced with pressure to exchange contracts in less than one month. A home loan is not required. Can I escape the need for conveyancing searches to save money and time?

I bought my flat on 5 September and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Clapton said it will be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Clapton uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Clapton registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not usually an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Clapton. Before diving in I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is registered - and most are in Clapton - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
Following months of correspondence we cannot agree with our landlord on how much the lease extension should cost for our flat in Clapton. Can we issue an application to the Residential Property Tribunal Service?
Most definitely. We are happy to put you in touch with a Clapton conveyancing firm who can help.
