I purchased my house on 1 November and my personal details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Thatcham said it would be registered in less than a month. Are properties in Thatcham uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Thatcham is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the property so an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Thatcham differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Thatcham contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Thatcham typically acquire 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 conveyancers 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 Thatcham or who has acted in the same development.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
