I got the keys to my home on 5 July and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Croydon said it should be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Croydon particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Croydon is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and found one near me in Croydon I like with open areas and station nearby, however it only has 51 years on the lease. I can't really find anything else in Croydon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error buying a short lease?
If you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be problematic. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may request that they commence the lease extension formalities and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the current lease term with a zero ground rent applied. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.

Not every individual in the law firm must be listed by the regulator. Provided there is someone qualified to 'oversee' the conveyancing, the actual day-to-day activity can be conducted by unlicensed staff.
