Have completed on a a semi-detached house in Wraysbury , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Wraysbury conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration is concluded.

As far as conveyancing in Wraysbury is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my 2 bed apartment in Wraysbury. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a yearly maintenance charge invoice – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?

It best that you discharge the invoice as you normally would given that all ground rent and maintenance invoices should be apportioned as part of the financial calculations for completion monies, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
