There is no need to visit the lawyers office on the day of completion.

Usually this occurs early afternoon.

Have completed on a a detached house in Oakhill , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my proprietorship? My Oakhill conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration is addressed.

As far as conveyancing in Oakhill is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs once the purchaser is living at the property so an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

How does conveyancing in Oakhill differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Oakhill come to us having been asked by the builder to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is finished. This is because house builders in Oakhill 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 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 used to new build conveyancing in Oakhill or who has acted in the same development.

As usual with these online conveyancers you need to read ALL the small print - did you notice the extra charge for dealing with the mortgage?
