I moved into my house on 7 February and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Northfleet expressed confidence that it should be recorded in less than a month. Are transfers in Northfleet uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Northfleet registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not typically top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Northfleet differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Northfleet come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is finished. This is because builders in Northfleet tend to acquire the land, 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 Northfleet or who has acted in the same development.
Over the last few months I have been searching for a ground for flat up to £235,500 and identified one near me in Northfleet I like with a park and transport links in the vicinity, however it's only got 49 years unexpired on the lease. There is not much else in Northfleet suitable, so just wondered if I would be making a mistake acquiring a short lease?
Should you require a home loan that many years will likely be a potential deal breaker. Discount the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for a minimum of 2 years you may ask them to start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing lawyer about this matter.
