There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Lee registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the buyer is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Lee differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Lee come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is constructed. This is because developers in Lee tend to 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 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 Lee or who has acted in the same development.
