As far as conveyancing in Peterborough registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry need to notify any third parties.

Even where you use a solicitor outside Peterborough you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds very carefully. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Peterborough may ascertain 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 residence.
