Just acquired a semi-detached house in Cross Keys , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Cross Keys conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the registration formalities are dealt with.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Cross Keys registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Cross Keys differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Cross Keys contact us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because new home sellers in Cross Keys typically purchase the land, 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 conveyancing solicitors 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 Cross Keys or who has acted in the same development.
