I purchased my house on 13 April and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Fforestfach advises it will be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in Fforestfach particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Fforestfach registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property so post completion formalities is not always an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and found one close by in Fforestfach I like with open areas and station in the vicinity, however it only has 52 years on the lease. There is not much else in Fforestfach suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will be an issue. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the premises for a minimum of 2 years you could request that they start the process of the extension and pass it to you. You can add 90 years to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor about this matter.

We own a leasehold flat in Fforestfach. Conveyancing was finalised in 2009. I have heard that I should not let the lease length get too low. What is the reasoning?
Fforestfach domestic long term leases are for a prescribed term - usually just under one hundred years when they commenced. However many flats in Fforestfach were constructed or converted 25 or more years ago and so these leases now have fewer than 80 years remaining. That may seem like a long time however Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies on the whole require leases to have at least 75 years unexpired to be mortgageable. This means that when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are getting close to 75 years. To enhance your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease long before you come to sell it. You should note that there are significant benefits to taking action before the lease reaches even 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the premium to be paid to extend starts to escalate.
