Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the UBS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the surveyor when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the UBS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.

Just acquired a detached house in Seaton , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Seaton conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my ownership is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Seaton registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically top priority 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 the application to be prioritised.
