It sounds as though you may have a conveyancing lawyer currently acting for you. What do they say? You need to check with your lawyer before you do anything. It is very possible that once the local authority has been informed of a potential issue it cannot be insured against (a bit like being diagnosed with a serious illness and then taking out life insurance to cover that same ailment)

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Kidbrooke 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 if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups.

How does conveyancing in Kidbrooke differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Kidbrooke contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Kidbrooke usually buy the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Kidbrooke or who has acted in the same development.
