Just bought a terraced house in Ystrad Mynach , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Ystrad Mynach conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Ystrad Mynach is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in Ystrad Mynach differ for new build properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Ystrad Mynach contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because house builders in Ystrad Mynach 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 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 Ystrad Mynach or who has acted in the same development.
