Just acquired a semi-detached house in Melton Mowbray , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Melton Mowbray conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Melton Mowbray registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Melton Mowbray differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Melton Mowbray come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because builders in Melton Mowbray usually buy the land, 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 Melton Mowbray or who has acted in the same development.
