I acquired my home on 2 January and my personal details is not yet registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Dereham advises it would be formalised in less than a month. Are titles in Dereham particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Dereham registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the property therefore registration formalities is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
I was recommended by numerous selling agents in Dereham to choose a conveyancer using your seach tool. What’s the financial advantage for Estate Agents to promote your lawyers over and above another?
We refuse to offer any financial incentive for pointing buyers and sellers in our direction. We found it would be just too difficult to pay a commission as members of the public would think, ‘Why is the agent getting a kickback? Why aren’t I getting any benefit too?’ We would prefer to grow our business on genuine recommendations.
I need to instruct a conveyancing solicitor in Dereham for my home move. Can I see a solicitor's complaints history with the legal regulator?
