As far as conveyancing in Holt is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any third 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 extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I was advised by a few selling agents in Holt to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. Is there a financial inducement for Estate Agents to offer your lawyers ahead of alternative conveyancing organisations?
We don’t give any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission because members of the public would think, ‘How come the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
