Just bought a detached house in Bucknall , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Bucknall conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Bucknall is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises so registration formalities is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
