There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Waolstenholme registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Waolstenholme differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build premises in Waolstenholme come to us having been asked by the developer to sign contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is built. This is because builders in Waolstenholme 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 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 Waolstenholme or who has acted in the same development.
