Just acquired a terraced house in Monmouthshire , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Monmouthshire conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Monmouthshire is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any other parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
