Have purchased a a detached house in Burnham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Burnham conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the registration is addressed.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Burnham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. Currently approximately 80% of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
