Just bought a detached house in Hereford , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Hereford conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Hereford registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property therefore post completion formalities is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
