I bought my flat on 13 January and the transaction details is yet to be registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Walsall advises it should be formalised in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Walsall particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Walsall is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. As of today roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration is effected after the new owner is living at the property thus an expedited registration is not usually primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

We're FTB’s - agreed a price, yet the selling agent informed us that the owners will only move forward if we use their preferred lawyers as they are insisting on an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a family conveyancer used to conveyancing in Walsall
It is unlikely the owners are behind this. If they want ‘a quick sale', alienating a serious buyer is counter productive. Bypass the agents and go straight to the owners and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are serious purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with mortgage lined up © you have nothing to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you will continue to use your preferred Walsall conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will give their negotiator at the agency a introducer fee or meet his conveyancing figures pre-set by head office.
There are a lot of houses in Walsall on unadopted roads. My partner and I are buying one such house. Are there any advantages to purchasing a house on a privately owned road?
Walsall conveyancing solicitors will be used to dealing houseson unadopted roads. The lawyer should review the Land Registry data to identify any rights or responsibilities. It is possible that there is a management company (wholly owned by residents) that residents pay into to maintain the road. If there is one, the road will likely be maintained and appear nicer than council maintained.
