I acquired my home on 10 October and the transaction details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Wellesbourne expressed confidence that it would be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Wellesbourne uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Wellesbourne registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the new owner is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not typically primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Wellesbourne differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Wellesbourne approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because new home sellers in Wellesbourne typically 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 used to new build conveyancing in Wellesbourne or who has acted in the same development.

Am I right to be wary about estate agents that I am dealing with are recommending an online conveyancing firm rather than a local Wellesbourne conveyancing practice?
As is the case with many professional services, often input from family and friends can be extremely useful or valuable. Yet there are many people with a vested interest in a conveyancing transaction; estate agents, financial adviser and lenders might all suggest solicitors to select. Sometimes the lawyers might be known to one of the organisations as one of the best in their field, but occasionally there behind the scenes commercial relationship behind the endorsement. You are free to choose your preferred lawyer. However, bear in mind that the majority of mortgage providers operate an approved list of solicitors you must use for the mortgage aspect of your conveyancing.
