Just acquired a terraced house in Dunnington , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Dunnington conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Dunnington registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Dunnington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Dunnington contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Dunnington typically purchase 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 conveyancers 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 Dunnington or who has acted in the same development.
