As far as conveyancing in Harwell registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

How does conveyancing in Harwell differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build property in Harwell come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because house builders in Harwell tend to acquire the site, 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 Harwell or who has acted in the same development.
