There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Morden registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. Currently roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

How does conveyancing in Morden differ for newly converted properties?

Most buyers of new build residence in Morden approach us having been asked by the housebuilder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the premises is finished. This is because developers in Morden tend to 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 used to new build conveyancing in Morden or who has acted in the same development.
