Have completed on a a terraced house in Burnopfield , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Burnopfield conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my ownership is registered.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Burnopfield registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales 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 persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
