Just bought a semi-detached house in East Leake , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My East Leake conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in East Leake is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third parties.

Do you have any advice for leasehold conveyancing in East Leake with the purpose of expediting the sale process?
- Much of the delay in leasehold conveyancing in East Leake can be bypassed where you appoint lawyers the minute your agents start advertising the property and request that they start to collate the leasehold information needed by the buyers’ solicitors. In the event that you altered the property did you need the Landlord’s approval? In particular have you installed wooden flooring? Most leases in East Leake state that internal structural changes or installing wooden flooring require a licence from the Landlord consenting to such changes. If you fail to have the consents in place do not contact the landlord without contacting your lawyer before hand. Some East Leake leases require Licence to Assign from the landlord. If this is the case, you should notify your estate agents to make sure that the purchasers put in hand financial (bank) and professional references. The bank reference should make it clear that the buyer is able to meet the yearly service charge and the actual amount of the service charge should be quoted in the bank’s letter. You will therefore need to provide your estate agents with the service charge figures so that they can pass this information on to the buyers or their solicitors. If there is a history of conflict with your freeholder or managing agents it is very important that these are settled before the property is put on the market. The purchasers and their solicitors will be concerned about purchasing a flat where there is an ongoing dispute. You may have to bite the bullet and discharge any arrears of service charge or resolve the dispute prior to completion of the sale. It is therefore preferable to have any dispute settled prior to the contract papers being issued to the buyers’ solicitors. You are still duty bound to disclose particulars of the dispute to the purchasers, but it is better to present the dispute as over rather than ongoing.
