Have purchased a a terraced house in Dawlish , how long will it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Dawlish conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Dawlish is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the premises so 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
How does conveyancing in Dawlish differ for newly converted properties?
Most buyers of new build property in Dawlish come to us having been asked by the seller to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the residence is ready to move into. This is because developers in Dawlish usually acquire 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 accustomed to new build conveyancing in Dawlish or who has acted in the same development.
