After shopping around on the internet I have found a Deal lawyer having checked that they are on the Coventry BS conveyancing panel. Does my lawyer arrange the survey of the property?
Coventry BS will need an independent valuation of the property. Your lawyer will not arrange this. Usually Coventry BS will appoint their own surveyor to do this, and you will have to pay for it. Remember that this is a valuation for mortgage purposes and not a survey. Your conveyancer will not organise the survey but they may be able to put you in touch with a local one that they recommend. RICS offers a find a surveyor service (just google it) where you can search for a qualified surveyor by your Deal postcode. As you are getting a mortgage with Coventry BS, you could contact them to see if they have a list of approved surveyors in Deal.
Just bought a terraced house in Deal , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Deal conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Deal is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises therefore post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
