Just bought a terraced house in Broadstairs , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Broadstairs conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Broadstairs registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

How does conveyancing in Broadstairs differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Broadstairs approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is constructed. This is because house builders in Broadstairs usually acquire the site, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties. Buyers, therefore, will have to exchange contracts without actually seeing the house they are buying. To reduce the chances of losing the property, buyers should instruct property lawyers as soon as the property is reserved and mortgage applications should be submitted quickly. Due to the fact that it could be several months and even years between exchange of contracts and completion, the mortgage offer may need to be extended. It would be wise to use a lawyer who specialises in new build conveyancing especially if they are accustomed to new build conveyancing in Broadstairs or who has acted in the same development.
