Have completed on a a detached house in Peterborough , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Peterborough conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Peterborough is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. At present roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the new owner has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Even though you don't necessarily need a conveyancing solicitor in Peterborough you would need to get your solicitor to go through the deeds diligently. Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Peterborough may determine that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
