I moved into my flat on 7 February and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in St Pancras said it will be recorded in less than a month. Are transfers in St Pancras particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in St Pancras registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property thus 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I decided to have a survey carried out on a property in St Pancras ahead of instructing lawyers. I have been told that there is a flying freehold overhang to the house. My surveyor has said that some banks tend refuse to give a mortgage on this type of home.
