I acquired my home on 8 August and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Frogmore said it should be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Frogmore uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Frogmore registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not always an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

If there are lifts in the building, please confirm that the owners of flats on the ground and basement floors will not be required to contribute towards the cost of maintenance and renewal. 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. There must be mutual enforceability of lessee’s covenants. Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents.

Last August I purchased a leasehold property in Frogmore. Am I liable to pay service charges for periods before my ownership?
Where the service charge has already been demanded from the previous lessee and they have not paid you would not usually be personally liable for the arrears. Strange as it may seem, your landlord may still be able to take action to forfeit the lease. It is an essential part of leasehold conveyancing for your conveyancer to ensure to have an up to date clear service charge receipt before completion of your purchase. If you have a mortgage this is likely to be a requirement of your lender.
If you purchase part way through an accounting year you may be liable for charges not yet demanded even if they relate to a period prior to your purchase. In such circumstances your conveyancer would normally arrange for the seller to set aside some money to cover their part of the period (usually called a service charge retention).

Please tell me if there are any major works in the planning that will increase the service fees? On the whole the outlay for major works tend not to be included within service charges, although some managing agents in Frogmore require leasehold owners to pay into a sinking fund created for the specific purpose of building a fund for major works. This information is important as a) areas may result in problems for the block as the common areas may begin to deteriorate if maintenance remain unpaid b) if the leasehold owners have a dispute with the managing agents you will want to have all the details
