Just acquired a terraced house in Park Royal , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Park Royal conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my ownership is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Park Royal is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore registration formalities is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Park Royal differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Park Royal approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because house builders in Park Royal typically 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 property lawyers 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Park Royal or who has acted in the same development.

Should you need a home loan the shortness of the lease may be an issue. Reduce the price by the anticipated lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the existing owner has owned the property for a minimum of twenty four months you may ask them to commence the lease extension formalities and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should consult your conveyancing solicitor concerning this matter.
