I moved into my apartment on 12 June and my personal details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Filey expressed confidence that it would be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Filey uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Filey registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the property thus registration formalities is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Here are examples of a few leasehold new build questions that you should expect your new-build leasehold conveyancing in Filey

    The Landlord must covenant to assume the management if the Management Company goes into liquidation or otherwise defaults in running the management scheme. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Please supply evidence that the form of Lease proposed has been approved by the Land Registry. The Vendor must covenant to keep unsold units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company?

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.

I am attracted to a two flats in Filey which have about forty five years unexpired on the lease term. should I be concerned?

There are plenty of short leases in Filey. The lease is a legal document that entitles you to use the premises for a period of time. As the lease shortens the value of the lease reduces and results in it becoming more expensive to acquire a lease extension. This is why it is generally wise to extend the lease term. More often than not it is difficulties arise selling premises with a short lease as mortgage lenders less inclined to grant a loan on such properties. Lease extension can be a difficult process. We recommend you get professional help from a conveyancer and surveyor with experience in this area.
