Just acquired a detached house in Southsea , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Southsea conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the registration is concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Southsea is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Southsea differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Southsea contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because new home sellers in Southsea tend to buy 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Southsea or who has acted in the same development.
