As a FTB what is the most important piece of guidance you can impart concerning purchase conveyancing in Ossett?

Not many law firms shout this from the rooftops but conveyancing in Ossett or throughout West Yorkshire is often a confrontational experience. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there exists an abundance of room for confrontation between you and others involved in the transaction. For instance, the vendor, property agent and sometimes the lender.

I moved into my flat on 5 July and the transaction details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Ossett expressed confidence that it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Ossett uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Ossett registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer is living at the property so 'speed' is not usually top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in Ossett differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Ossett come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because builders in Ossett tend to acquire 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 Ossett or who has acted in the same development.

My husband and I are four weeks into a residential purchase having been directed to a firm by the selling agent to handle our conveyancing in Ossett. I am am very dissatisfied with the quality of service. Could you help me find new lawyers?

A lawyer would need to be very poor to suggest changing them. Has your mortgage offer been sent? In the event that it has you will need to make them aware of the new contact details and have the offer are re-issued. Your new conveyancer should be on the banks approved list to avoid added charges and delays. That should be your starting point. The search tool should help you find a lender approved lawyer for your home move in Ossett
