The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) published findings of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not figure within the most frequent causes of hindrances during the legal transfer of property. Searches are not likely to feature in any slowing down conveyancing in Denham.

Have completed on a a detached house in Denham , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Denham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Denham registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property so registration formalities is not typically primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I am short of a 10% deposit on my house purchase in Denham , but I am keen proceed. Do I have options?

One option is to try and accept a lower deposit. Many property owners will agree to a smaller deposit or even no deposit for a first time buyer or 100% mortgage. Be aware though that if you fail to complete you will still need to hand over a minimum of 10% of the purchase price regardless of how much deposit was agreed.

You can also agree a simultaneous exchange and completion as no deposit is required for this however neither party will be tied in until completion actually takes place and it can be risky if sellers change their mind at the last minute
