Just bought a detached house in Lowestoft , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Lowestoft conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are dealt with.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Lowestoft registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Lowestoft differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Lowestoft approach us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is constructed. This is because house builders in Lowestoft usually 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 Lowestoft or who has acted in the same development.
