I got the keys to my home on 11 October and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in New Farnley expressed confidence that it would be formalised inside ten days. Are properties in New Farnley particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in New Farnley is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

If the existing proprietor has owned the property for at least 2 years you could ask them to start the process of the extension and pass it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the current lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.
