I acquired my flat on 4 October and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Bromsgrove expressed confidence that it should be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Bromsgrove uniquely lengthy to register?
As far as conveyancing in Bromsgrove registration is no faster or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore 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 should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
