Recently asked questions about conveyancing in Cambourne

I acquired my flat on 9 May and the transaction details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Cambourne said it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Cambourne particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Cambourne is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser 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 conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in Cambourne differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Cambourne contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Cambourne usually acquire the real estate, 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 conveyancers 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 used to new build conveyancing in Cambourne or who has acted in the same development.

The primary upside of using a high street Cambourne conveyancing practice is that you can attend the office to sign documents, present your ID and pester them where appropriate. They will also have local knowledge which is a plus. However it's more important to get someone that will pull out all the stops for you.
