Just bought a detached house in Belgravia , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Belgravia conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Belgravia is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser is living at the property so an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
