As far as conveyancing in Bursledon registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Bursledon differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Bursledon contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Bursledon typically acquire the site, 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.

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 Bursledon or who has acted in the same development.
