Just bought a detached house in Pevensey , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Pevensey conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Pevensey is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Pevensey differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Pevensey approach us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because new home sellers in Pevensey usually 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. 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 Pevensey or who has acted in the same development.
