I completed on my apartment on 8 August and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Bellingham said it would be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Bellingham particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Bellingham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other parties. At present in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays.

I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a property I put an offer in last month in what should have been a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Bellingham is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Bellingham are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Bellingham you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Bellingham may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.

Some Bellingham leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should place the estate agents on notice to make sure that the purchasers obtain bank and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is financially capable of paying the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the actual amount of the service charge so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their lawyers. The majority of freeholders or Management Companies in Bellingham levy fees for providing management packs for a leasehold home. You or your lawyers should discover the actual amount of the charges. The management pack can be applied for on or before finding a buyer, thus accelerating the process. The typical amount of time it takes to receive management information is three weeks. It is the most usual cause of frustration in leasehold conveyancing in Bellingham.
