Have purchased a a detached house in Castelnau , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my title? My Castelnau conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Castelnau registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Castelnau differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Castelnau contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Castelnau typically acquire the land, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Castelnau or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what should have been a simple, no chain conveyancing. Castelnau is where the house is located. Is there any advice you can give?
Flying freeholds in Castelnau are rare but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Castelnau you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds thoroughly. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Castelnau may ascertain that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
Should I be wary about estate agents that I am dealing with are encouraging me to use an internet conveyancing firm rather than a local Castelnau conveyancing firm?
As is the case with lots of professional services, often input from relatives can be worth their weight in gold. But there are numerous players in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, mortgage brokers and banks may recommend conveyancers to retain. On occasion the solicitors might be known to one of the organisations as experts in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes financial incentive behind the recommendation. You have the discretion to appoint your own conveyancer. However, bear in mind that some mortgage providers operate an approved list of law firms you must use for the mortgage aspect of your transaction.
Me and my husband are FTB’s just having agreed a price on a property in Castelnau, and are now looking to get solicitors appointed. I have utilised the different rating tools and the results are from all across the England and Wales. Is it essential to have a Castelnau conveyancer local to the potential house? I am willing to do everything electronically, but I assume at some stage we may be required to visit the solicitor's office to sign papers?
The conveyancer does not have to be in Castelnau, but choosing local means that you can visit their offices if you need to, for instance, if a signature is immediately necessary. Also, a Castelnau solicitor have established relationships with local agents and (if the vendor has chosen a local conveyancing practitioner) with them, which will help smooth the process.
