Have purchased a a terraced house in Stroud , how long will it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Stroud conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is recorded.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Stroud registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. Currently roughly three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
