I bought my apartment on 9 March and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Liversedge said it would be recorded inside ten days. Are properties in Liversedge particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Liversedge is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties.

Historically registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
