Why do I have to pay up front for my conveyancing in Martlesham?
If you are buying a property in Martlesham your solicitor will ask you to provide them with funds to cover the search fees. This will be the total of the cost of the Local Authority Search. If any deposit is payable against the purchase price then this will be required shortly in advance of exchange of contracts. Any further balance that is due will be payable shortly before completion.
I have been told that property searches are the main reason for delay in Martlesham house deals. Is this right?
The Council of Property Search Organisations (CoPSO) has noted the determinations of a review by MoveWithUs that conveyancing searches do not feature amongst the most frequent causes of delays in the conveyancing process. Searches are not likely to be the root cause of holding up conveyancing in Martlesham.
I completed on my flat on 7 July and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Martlesham advises it will be dealt with in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Martlesham particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Martlesham is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any interested parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property thus post completion formalities is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

I have instructed a Martlesham conveyancing solicitor for our house purchase (FTB’s) and have spotted in the terms and conditions that they are not overseen by the FCA. Am I right to be concerned or is that the norm with property lawyer?
We can't see why they should be. Most property lawyer don't lend money. They will be governed by the SRA, who have strict rules in relation to funds deposited by them.
