This includes reviewing the lease, corresponding with the landlord concerning serving appropriate notices, procuring up-to-date service charge and management information, obtaining the landlord’s consents and reviewing management accounts.

I completed on my house on 16 September and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Underwood advises it would be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Underwood particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Underwood is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property so post completion formalities is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
