Just acquired a detached house in Southwold , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Southwold conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Southwold registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any third parties. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays.

How does conveyancing in Southwold differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Southwold come to us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because new home sellers in Southwold typically buy the site, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Southwold or who has acted in the same development.
