I purchased my house on 9 October and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Minera said it should be dealt with inside ten days. Are properties in Minera particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Minera is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any other parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

The majority of Minera leasehold flats will be liable to pay a service bill for maintenance of the building set on behalf of the freeholder. Where you purchase the apartment you will have to pay this liability, normally in instalments accross the year.

There will also be a ground rent for you to pay annual, this is usually not a exorbitant figure, say about £25-£75 but you need to enquire as occasionally it can be many hundreds of pounds. The prefered form of lease arrangement is a share of the freehold. In this scenario the leaseholders have being in charge if their destiny and notwithstanding that a managing agent is often employed where the building is bigger than a house conversion, the managing agent acts for the leaseholders themselves.
