I moved into my apartment on 1 October and the transaction details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Dinnington advises it would be recorded in less than a month. Are transfers in Dinnington particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Dinnington is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property so registration formalities is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Dinnington differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Dinnington come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because builders in Dinnington tend to purchase 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 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 Dinnington or who has acted in the same development.
