Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering regulations require solicitors and licensed conveyancers to verify the ID of the potential client they are dealing with prior to agreeing to accepting their conveyancing instruction. The Terms and Conditions that you are required to sign should confirm this.

I moved into my flat on 11 August and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Belvedere advises it would be concluded inside ten days. Are properties in Belvedere uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Belvedere 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 who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but 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 an expedited registration.

-
Will control of the Management Company (if any) be handed over to purchasers on completion of the last sale or earlier?

- A significant proportion of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in Belvedere can be avoided if you instruct lawyers the minute you market your property and ask them to collate the leasehold information needed by the purchasers’ conveyancers. If you are supposed to have a share in the Management Company, you should make sure that you are holding the original share document. Organising a duplicate share certificate can be a lengthy formality and frustrates many a Belvedere conveyancing deal. If a duplicate share certificate is necessary, do contact the company director and secretary or managing agents (if applicable) for this as soon as possible. A minority of Belvedere leases require Landlord’s consent to the sale and approval of the buyers. If this is the case, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand bank and professional references. Any bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the annual service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. The majority of freeholders or Management Companies in Belvedere charge for supplying management packs for a leasehold premises. You or your lawyers should find out the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for as soon as you have a buyer, thus reducing delays. The typical amount of time it takes to obtain the necessary information is three weeks. It is the most frequent cause of delay in leasehold conveyancing in Belvedere.
I have attempted and failed to negotiate with my landlord to extend my lease without success. Can the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal decide on such matters? Can you recommend a Belvedere conveyancing firm to assist?
in cases where there is a missing landlord or if there is dispute about the premium for a lease extension, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can apply to the First-tier Tribunal (Property Chamber) to assess the price.
An example of a Lease Extension decision for a Belvedere residence is Various @ Colombus Square in January 2012. the Tribunal calculated the premiums to be paid for new leases for each of the flats in Mariners Walk to be £3822 and the premium to be paid for the new lease of 2 Knights Court to be £4439. This case related to 13 flats. The remaining number of years on the lease was 76 years.
