What does my ID and proof of funds have anything to do with my conveyancing in Shanklin? Why is this being asked of me?
Shanklin conveyancing solicitors and indeed property lawyers throughout the UK have a duty under money laundering regulations to check the identity of any client in order to ensure that clients are who they say they are.

I bought my flat on 2 June and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Shanklin expressed confidence that it would be recorded in less than a month. Are transfers in Shanklin uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Shanklin registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where 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 an expedited registration.

The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. 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. The Vendor must covenant to keep unoccupied units in good repair until long leases are granted therefore. Forfeiture - bankruptcy or liquidation must not apply under this provision.
