As someone unfamiliar with the Aldeburgh conveyancing process what’s the number one tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Aldeburgh

Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Aldeburgh and elsewhere in Suffolk is an adversarial experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is plenty of opportunity for friction between you and others involved in the house moving process. E.g., the vendor, selling agent and on occasion the mortgage company. Choosing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Aldeburgh should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE person in the process whose role it is to look after your legal interests and to protect you.

There is a distinct emergence of a "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. We recommend that you must always trust your conveyancer ahead of the other players when it comes to the legal assignment of property.

I purchased my home on 16 November and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Aldeburgh expressed confidence that it should be dealt with inside ten days. Are transfers in Aldeburgh particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Aldeburgh registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
