After what seems like an age I have had an offer on a maisonette in Mitcheldean agreed to, the vendors do nevertheless have an associated purchase. The vendors have put an offer on somewhere, however it’s not been accepted yet, and have viewings of other apartments booked. I have instructed a bricks and mortar conveyancing solicitor in Mitcheldean. What should be my next step? When should I get the mortgage application with Virgin Money going?
It is normal to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket prematurely (home loan application is approx one thousand pounds, then survey, Mitcheldean conveyancing search fees, etc). The first course of action is to ensure that your conveyancing practitioner is on the Virgin Money approved list. Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your case, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a hot market the majority of purchasers will apply for the mortgage with Virgin Money and arrange for the valuation and only if it was satisfactory would they pay their property lawyer to move forward with searches.
I bought my apartment on 6 February and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Mitcheldean said it would be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Mitcheldean uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Mitcheldean registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property so post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
