Is it realistic for conveyancing in Audlem to be concluded inside two weeks?

Where you are under time constraints for your conveyancing we would recommend that your conveyancer is familiar with the location as they will have local connections and knowledge. It is possible that they could have transacted otherproperties in the same neighbourhood. Therefore consider using a Audlem conveyancing firm. In addition, check that the lawyer is on the member panel. It is claimed that nearly one in five of Audlem conveyancing transactions are suspended or derailed after finding out that a buyer’s lawyer was not on their banks panel. This can often result in the legal transfer of property being frustrated by almost 21 days. It is said that this issue affects approximately one hundred thousand home moves annually. Many Audlem conveyancing practices can not act for certain banks so do check as early as possible.

Any high street Audlem conveyancer would know that there is no such problem. For the life of me I don't know why the purchasers instructed a nationwide conveyancing outfit as opposed to a conveyancing solicitor in Audlem. Having lived in Audlem for 5 years we know of no issue. Should we get in touch with our local Authority to seek confirmation that the buyers are looking for.

It would appear that you have a conveyancing firm already. What do they say? You need to enquire of your lawyer before you do anything.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Audlem registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Flying freeholds in Audlem are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Audlem you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
