It is usual to have apprehensions where there is a chain as you are unlikely to want to be too out of pocket too early (home loan application is in the region of one thousand pounds, then survey, Atherton conveyancing search fees, etc).

Concerning the next stages this very much dictated by the uniqueness of your transaction, attraction to this property and on the state of the market. During a rising market some purchasers would apply for a home loan with Bank of Ireland and arrange for the valuation and only if it comes back ok would they ask their conveyancer to move forward with the conveyancing in Atherton.

I bought my flat on 14 May and my personal details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Atherton advises it will be recorded in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Atherton uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Atherton is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the new owner is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
