I moved into my apartment on 16 April and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Boscombe expressed confidence that it would be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Boscombe particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Boscombe registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property so registration formalities is not always top priority but where 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 own a leasehold flat in Boscombe. Conveyancing was finished in 2009. I have heard that I mustn’t allow the lease length get too low. Is this correct?
Boscombe residential long term leases are for a prescribed period - usually just under one hundred years when they are first granted. However a significant appartments in Boscombe were constructed or converted 30 or more years ago and so such leases now have fewer than 80 years unexpired. That may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage institutions generally require leases to have a minimum of seventy five years unexpired to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need a lease extension if you are getting close to eighty years. To enhance your property value you should be thinking about whether to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. Furthermore advantages to doing so before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below eighty years the amount you have to pay to extend starts to increase.
