I completed on my flat on 6 November and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Forty Hill said it should be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Forty Hill uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Forty Hill registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs once the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
