Just acquired a semi-detached house in Lancaster , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my title? My Lancaster conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my name is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Lancaster registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually an essential issue 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.
