We're in Carisbrooke, FTBs purchasing with a mortgage (lender is Nationwide , and our solicitor is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the Nationwide conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no property lawyer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
Just acquired a detached house in Carisbrooke , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Carisbrooke conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Carisbrooke registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet where 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.
