Just acquired a terraced house in Wythenshawe , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my title? My Wythenshawe conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Wythenshawe is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies.

Historically registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
I have been on the look out for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one close by in Wythenshawe I like with open areas and railway links nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. There is not much else in Wythenshawe for this price, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a lease with such few years left?
Should you require a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current owner has owned the premises for a minimum of twenty four months you can ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor about this.
