Just acquired a semi-detached house in Mitcham , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my proprietorship? My Mitcham conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.

Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies.
