There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Todmorden registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Todmorden differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Todmorden contact us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Todmorden tend to 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 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 Todmorden or who has acted in the same development.
