Just bought a terraced house in Rumney , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Rumney conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain that my purchase is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Rumney is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies.

Historically registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the premises so 'speed' is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
