Just bought a semi-detached house in Walsall , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Walsall conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Walsall is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties.

How does conveyancing in Walsall differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Walsall come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Walsall usually acquire 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 Walsall or who has acted in the same development.
Hoping to buy a property located in Walsall and I am already nervous. I couldn't find anything specific about Walsall. Conveyancing will be needed in due course but do you know about the Walsall area? or perhaps some other tips you can share?

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, but the agent informed us that the vendor will only issue a contract if we use their chosen conveyancers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. We would rather use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Walsall
We suspect that the owner is not behind this requirement. Should the vendor want ‘a quick sale', alienating a motivated purchaser is not the way to achieve this. Speak to the vendors direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are excited to move forward, with finances in place © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)but you will continue to appoint your preferred Walsall conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will give the negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing figures pre-set by HQ.
Is there a distinction between surveying and conveyancing in Walsall?
Conveyancing - in Walsall or anywhere in England and Wales - is the legal term given to transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It therefore includes the checking of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you’re intending to buy and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you leverage for reducing the price down or asking the seller to remedy the defects before you complete your move.
