Just bought a detached house in Limehouse , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Limehouse conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are addressed.
As far as conveyancing in Limehouse registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

If you meet the appropriate requirements, under the Leasehold Reform, Housing and Urban Development Act 1993 you can submit an application to the County Court for an order to dispense with the service of the initial notice. This will mean that your lease can be extended by the Court. However, you will be required to demonstrate that you have done all that could be expected to track down the freeholder.
