Not many law firms or advisers will tell you this but conveyancing in Countesthorpe or throughout Leicestershire is an adversarial process. In other words, when it comes to conveyancing there is lots of opportunity for conflict between you and other parties involved in the legal transfer of property. For instance, the seller, estate agent and on occasion a bank. Appointing a lawyer for your conveyancing in Countesthorpe should not be taken lightly as your conveyancer is your adviser, and is the ONE party in the legal process whose role it is to act in your legal interests and to keep you safe.
There is a definite increase in the "blame" culture- someone has to be at fault for the process being so protracted. You your first instinct should be to trust your conveyancer ahead of all other parties in the home moving process.

Have purchased a a terraced house in Countesthorpe , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My Countesthorpe conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the post completion formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Countesthorpe registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. 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 need to notify any other parties. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer delays. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not always an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Countesthorpe differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in Countesthorpe contact us having been asked by the seller to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because builders in Countesthorpe tend to acquire 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 property lawyers 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 Countesthorpe or who has acted in the same development.
