Have completed on a a terraced house in Newark , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Newark conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is recorded.
As far as conveyancing in Newark is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
