I purchased my flat on 4 May and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Wollaston said it should be registered inside ten days. Are properties in Wollaston uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Wollaston is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any other persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

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.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in Wollaston. Before I get started I want to be sure as to the unexpired term of the lease.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Wollaston - then the leasehold title will always include the basic details of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.

Ask prospective neighbours if they are happy with them. On a final note, find out the dates that the maintenance charges are due to the managing agents and specifically what it includes.
