Just bought a terraced house in Norbury , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Norbury conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the post completion formalities are concluded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Norbury registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Norbury differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Norbury come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Norbury tend to buy 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Norbury or who has acted in the same development.
