I acquired my apartment on 1 February and the transaction details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Eccleston expressed confidence that it would be registered inside ten days. Are transfers in Eccleston particularly slow to register?

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Eccleston registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the premises therefore registration formalities is not usually an essential issue but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in Eccleston differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Eccleston come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because builders in Eccleston usually purchase 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Eccleston or who has acted in the same development.
