There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Bulls Cross registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups.

How does conveyancing in Bulls Cross differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Bulls Cross approach us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Bulls Cross usually buy 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 property lawyers 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 Bulls Cross or who has acted in the same development.
