I completed on my apartment on 2 March and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Sturminster Newton said it should be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Sturminster Newton uniquely lengthy to register?

How does conveyancing in Sturminster Newton differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Sturminster Newton come to us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because developers in Sturminster Newton typically purchase the real estate, 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 used to new build conveyancing in Sturminster Newton or who has acted in the same development.

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold issue on a house I put an offer in a fortnight ago in what was supposed to be a simple, no chain conveyancing. Sturminster Newton is where the house is located. Is there any guidance you can give?

Flying freeholds in Sturminster Newton are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses. Even where you use a solicitor outside Sturminster Newton you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds very carefully. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Sturminster Newton may ascertain 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 residence.
