I moved into my apartment on 6 October and my personal details are still not registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Shenley expressed confidence that it will be concluded inside ten days. Are transfers in Shenley uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Shenley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today roughly 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the buyer has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
