Just acquired a terraced house in Peacehaven , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Peacehaven conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Peacehaven is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the new owner is living at the premises so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Peacehaven differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Peacehaven approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because developers in Peacehaven typically purchase 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Peacehaven or who has acted in the same development.
