I completed on my apartment on 2 September and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in East Boldon expressed confidence that it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in East Boldon uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in East Boldon registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a leasehold apartment up to £305k and identified one round the corner in East Boldon I like with open areas and transport links in the vicinity, the downside is that it only has 61 years unexpired on the lease. I can't really find anything else in East Boldon suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a grave error acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage that many years will likely be problematic. Discount the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing solicitor regarding this.
