I moved into my house on 7 October and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Rainford advises it would be formalised in less than a month. Are transfers in Rainford uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Rainford registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where 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 Rainford differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Rainford contact us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is ready to move into. This is because new home sellers in Rainford usually acquire the real estate, 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 Rainford or who has acted in the same development.
