Have completed on a a terraced house in South Harrow , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My South Harrow conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check the registration is concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in South Harrow registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry have to notify any other parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place once the new owner has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in South Harrow differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build property in South Harrow approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is completed. This is because house builders in South Harrow tend to purchase 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 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in South Harrow or who has acted in the same development.

I have just appointed agents to market my 2 bed flat in South Harrow. Conveyancing solicitors are to be appointed soon, but I have recently received a half-yearly maintenance charge invoice – Do I pay up?
It best that you clear the invoice as you normally would because all rents and service charges should be allotted on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the next payment date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
