There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Turnpike Lane registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third parties.

How does conveyancing in Turnpike Lane differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Turnpike Lane come to us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the property is built. This is because new home sellers in Turnpike Lane usually acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Turnpike Lane or who has acted in the same development.

Estate agents have just been given the go-ahead to market my ground floor apartment in Turnpike Lane. Conveyancing has not commenced, but I have just received a half-yearly maintenance charge demand – should I leave it to the buyer to sort out?
The sensible thing to do is discharge the service charge as usual given that all ground rent and service charges will be apportioned on completion, so you will be reimbursed by the purchaser for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer unless 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.
