Just acquired a detached house in Mitcham , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Mitcham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.

As far as conveyancing in Mitcham registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not always an essential issue 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.

How does conveyancing in Mitcham differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build premises in Mitcham come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because builders in Mitcham tend to buy the real estate, 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 Mitcham or who has acted in the same development.

I'm converting the mortgage on my current property to a BTL mortgage with Godiva Mortgages Ltd and I will use the rest of the raised equity towards further property. The neighborhood we are talking about is Mitcham. Will your lawyers be able to act for the two mortgage companies and link together the transactions?

Make use of our search tool on this site to check that the lawyers are on the relevant lender panels. Assuming that they are the solicitor should be able to tie up the two transactions but you should talk with you solicitor and make apparent your expectations and requirements.

I need to appoint a conveyancing solicitor for purchase conveyancing in Mitcham. I happened to stumble upon a site which appears to be the perfect offering If there is a chance to get all this stuff completed via phone that would be preferable. Should I be concerned? What are the potential pitfalls?

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
