Fishponds conveyancing solicitors and indeed property practitioners accross the UK have a duty under Anti-terror and anti-money-laundering rules to verify the identity of any client in order to satisfy themselves that clients are who they say they are.

I completed on my flat on 14 September and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Fishponds advises it will be formalised in less than a month. Are properties in Fishponds uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Fishponds is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I own a leasehold flat in Fishponds. Conveyancing was completed in 2010. I have read on a number of consumer forums that I mustn’t allow the lease length get too short. Is this right?
Fishponds domestic long term leases are for a set period - usually just under one hundred years when they commenced. However a significant flats in Fishponds were constructed or converted 35 or more years ago and so such leases now have under 80 years unexpired. This may sound like plenty of time but Banks, Building Societies and other mortgage companies generally need leases to have at least 75 years left to be mortgageable. Accordingly when you come to sell the property you will need to extend the term of your lease if you are approaching eighty years. To maximise your property value you should be thinking about whether or not to extend your lease well in advance of selling the property. There are also significant benefits to taking action before the lease hits 80 years as when the lease falls below 80 years the amount to be paid to extend starts to increase.
