I moved into my apartment on 1 October and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Rainford advises it would be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Rainford particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Rainford registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if 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 the application to be prioritised.

How does conveyancing in Rainford differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Rainford come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Rainford tend to acquire 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Rainford or who has acted in the same development.
