I am in the process of mortgaging my flat in Wendover, does my lawyer need to be on the Kent Reliance Solicitor panel?
In theory, you could use a solicitor that is not on the Kent Reliance conveyancing panel, but Kent Reliance would require one of their panel solicitors to be instructed to act in their interests, and you'd have to pay for this - so most people instruct a panel solicitor. It's also easier, as otherwise you'd have to deal with two solicitors for the same transaction.
Just acquired a terraced house in Wendover , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my title? My Wendover conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Wendover registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Wendover differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Wendover approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is constructed. This is because house builders in Wendover tend to buy the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Wendover or who has acted in the same development.
