Just bought a detached house in Dursley , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Dursley conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Dursley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties. Currently roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property so 'speed' is not usually top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
How does conveyancing in Dursley differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Dursley approach us having been asked by the developer to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is built. This is because house builders in Dursley usually acquire 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 Dursley or who has acted in the same development.
I've recently found out that there is a flying freehold element on a property I have offered on last month in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Dursley is the location of the property. Can you offer any assistance?
Flying freeholds in Dursley are not the norm but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Dursley you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your mortgage company may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Dursley may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. 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 property.

When it comes to leasehold conveyancing in Dursley what are the most frequent lease defects?
There is nothing unique about leasehold conveyancing in Dursley. Most leases are individual and legal mistakes in the legal wording can sometimes mean that certain sections are missing. For example, if your lease is missing any of the following, it could be defective:
-
A provision to repair to or maintain elements of the property A duty to insure the building
A defective lease will likely cause issues when trying to sell a property as they can affect a potential buyer’s ability to obtain a mortgage. HSBC Bank, Norwich and Peterborough Building Society, and Clydesdale all have very detailed requirements when it comes to what is expected in a lease. Where a lender has been advised by their lawyers that the lease does not cover certain provisions they may refuse to grant the mortgage, forcing the purchaser to pull out.

Are there any specific benefits to using a local solicitor in Dursley
Many purchasers and sellers in Dursley opt for a local conveyancer so that they can visit in the event that they have problems, and to collect documents without using the post.
There is a slight edge when selecting a property lawyer nearby to the property you are purchasing, due to the knowledge of the region and possible local issues - but this is debatable. Many conveyancers are now by way of email and could be almost anywhere.
