There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Harrogate registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Harrogate differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Harrogate contact us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Harrogate 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 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 Harrogate or who has acted in the same development.

We are about to complete buying a property in Harrogate but as a result of wreckage from the recent storms I have agreed reparation from the vendor of four thousand pounds taking the form of a deduction in the price. I had intended this to be dealt with as part of the conveyancing process but the mortgage company will not permit this. Why were they notified?
The conveyancer being on a mortgage company conveyancing panel is required to inform the bank of any variations to the sale price. If you did not allow your conveyancing practitioner to report the price change to your lender then they would need to discontinue acting for you and the mortgage company.
