Recently asked questions about conveyancing in East Cowes

My house in East Cowes is up for sale and I have a buyer. Will the conveyancer need to be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel in order to deal with redeeming my mortgage?

Ordinarily, even if your lawyer is not on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel they can still act for you on your sale. It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off. You should speak to your lawyer directly before you start the process though to ensure that there is no problem as lenders are changing their specifications fairly frequently in recent years.

I moved into my house on 6 November and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in East Cowes advises it should be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are titles in East Cowes particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in East Cowes is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Is there a difference between surveying and conveyancing in East Cowes?

Conveyancing - in East Cowes or elsewhere - is the process of legally transferring legal title of property from one person to another. It involves the investigation of the title. Whether buying or selling, you should be aware of anything affecting the property such as proposals by government departments, illegal buildings, or outstanding rates. The conveyancer should conduct the appropriate searches and inquiries on the property. Surveying relates to the structure of a property itself. A surveyor will look at a house, flat and any outbuildings you are buying and will help you discover the condition of the building and, if there are problems, give you a powerful reason for reducing the price down or asking the vendor to remedy the problems before you move in.
