I moved into my apartment on 12 September and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Darnall advises it should be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Darnall particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Darnall registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Darnall differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Darnall contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is completed. This is because builders in Darnall typically 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.

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 Darnall or who has acted in the same development.
