I am buying a house without a mortgage in Clent. I have resided for the previous Seventeen years in Clent. Conveyancing searches are expensive. Given that I have knowledge of the road and vicinity intimately should I not bother getting the solicitor to do all the conveyancing searches?
In the absence of a home loan, then almost all of the Clent conveyancing searches are non-obligatory. Your solicitor will ’encourage you, perhaps strongly, that you should have searches completed, but she is duty bound to take that path of encouragement .

There are plenty of instances where premises with no practical issues can still show up negative search results. A competent conveyancing solicitor in Clent should be able to give you some constructive guidance in this regard.

I purchased my flat on 8 May and the transaction details is yet to be on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Clent advises it will be registered inside ten days. Are titles in Clent particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Clent is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore post completion formalities is not always primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Clent differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Clent approach us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Clent typically buy the real estate, 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Clent or who has acted in the same development.
