As far as conveyancing in Nottingham is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any other parties. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the new owner is living at the premises therefore registration formalities is not always top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Due to the input of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a house in Nottingham before instructing conveyancers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the property. The surveyor has said that some mortgage companies tend not give a loan on such a home.
