In light of the recent guidance from the Law Society of Scotland following the temporary closure of the applications department of the Land Register we anticipate that sales and purchases may require to be delayed until temporary procedures are put in place by the Land Register.

We have been assured that the Law Society, Land Register and lending institutions are in discussions to resolve matters as soon as possible.

There are also the practical issues which may affect your move following recent reports that removal firms are not currently operating in light of the government guidelines.

The McKinstry Company are currently assisting clients who face the prospect of delays to their sale and purchases however we endeavour to ensure that when matters have been resolved (even if that is by temporary measures) that we are able to assist you in settling your transactions as soon as is practically possible.

Please contact our conveyancing department during this period if you have any concerns arising from any of the foregoing on 01292 388048.
