Have completed on a a detached house in Pyle , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Pyle conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Pyle registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Pyle differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Pyle contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because developers in Pyle typically buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Pyle or who has acted in the same development.
My husband and I are new to the buying process - agreed a price, but the estate agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we instruct the agent's chosen lawyers as they want a ‘quick sale’. My instinct tells me that we should use a high street solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Pyle
It is improbable the sellers are behind this. Should the owner want ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a genuine buyer is counter productive. Speak to the owners direct and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you wish to move quickly (e)however you intend to use your own,trusted Pyle conveyancing lawyers - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a commission or achieve conveyancing targets pre-set by senior management.
My wife and I purchased a leasehold flat in Pyle. Conveyancing and Norwich and Peterborough Building Society mortgage are in place. I have received a letter from someone saying they have taken over the freehold. Attached was a demand for arrears of ground rent dating back to 1996. The conveyancing practitioner in Pyle who previously acted has long since retired. Any advice?
The first thing you should do is make enquiries of HMLR to be sure that this person is in fact the new freeholder. You do not need to instruct a Pyle conveyancing firm to do this as you can do this on the Land Registry website for less than a fiver. Rest assured that in any event, even if this is the rightful freeholder, under the Limitation Act 1980 no more than 6 years of rent can be collected.
