I purchased my home on 10 November and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Torpoint advises it would be registered in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Torpoint uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Torpoint registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
How does conveyancing in Torpoint differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build or newly converted property in Torpoint approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is completed. This is because house builders in Torpoint usually buy 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 conveyancers 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 Torpoint or who has acted in the same development.
