As someone unfamiliar with conveyancing in Sileby what is the number one tip you can give me concerning the legal transfer of property in Sileby
You may not hear this from too many lawyers but conveyancing in Sileby or throughout Leicestershire is an adversarial process. Put another way, when it comes to conveyancing there is an abundance of room for confrontation between you and other parties involved in the ownership transfer. For instance, the seller, estate agent and sometimes the bank. Appointing a solicitor for your conveyancing in Sileby is a critical decision as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the transaction whose interest is to act in your legal interests and to protect you.
On occasion a third party with a vested interest will try and sway you that it is in your interests to do things their way. For instance, the selling agent may claim to be helping by claiming that your solicitor is slow. Or your financial adviser may advise you to do something that is against your solicitors guidance. You should always trust your lawyer above all other parties in the home moving process.
We're in Sileby, First timers buying with a mortgage (lender is UBS , and our solicitor is on the UBS conveyancing panel). How long should the conveyancing process take?
The fact that your lawyer is on the UBS conveyancing panel is a help. It would almost certainly delay matters if they were not. However, no conveyancer should guarantee a timeframe for your conveyancing, due to third parties outside of your control such as delays caused by lenders,conveyancing search providers or by the other side’s solicitors. The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.
I moved into my home on 3 May and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Sileby advises it would be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Sileby particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Sileby registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
