Is it possible for conveyancing in Bridport to be concluded in under 3 weeks?
In a situation where the seller is applying a tight deadline for your conveyancing it is highly recommended that your solicitor is familiar with the location as they will benefit local connections and know-how. It is possible that they would have conducted previoushomes in the same neighbourhood. You would be best advised to use a Bridport conveyancing solicitor. In addition, be sure that the lawyer is on the on the approved list for your mortgage company. It is said that nearly one in five of Bridport conveyancing deals are delayed or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s conveyancer was not on their mortgage lender’s list of approved solicitors. In many cases this discovery resulted in the home move being held up by almost three weeks. It is believed that this issue affects approximately 100,000 home moves annually. Most Bridport conveyancing firms can not act for certain banks so do check at the outset.

The mortgage over my property is with UBS for my property in Bridport. Conveyancing was finalised a year ago. Should I wish to rent out my property and do not currently have a buy-to-let mortgage do I need to remortgage to a buy-to-let mortgage or inform UBS?
UBS must be informed of your intention before letting out your property as this is likely to be a breach of UBS’s mortgage conditions. In many cases banks or building societies will allow you to rent out your former home without needing to switch to a buy-to-let mortgage but some lenders will add a surcharge to your mortgage rate to reflect the higher risk. You should contact UBS directly. You need not do this via a UBS conveyancing panel solicitor.
I purchased my flat on 1 September and the transaction details is not yet registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Bridport advises it would be formalised inside ten days. Are titles in Bridport particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Bridport registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. Currently approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the property so registration formalities is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
