I purchased my flat on 5 October and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Ferndown said it should be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Ferndown uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Ferndown registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I am purchasing a new build house in Ferndown with a loan from Aldermore. The sellers refused to budge the amount so I negotiated 6k of additionals instead.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the invoice as normal as all ground rent and service charges should be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice 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. Having a clear account will assist your cause and will leave you no worse off financially.
