Just bought a terraced house in Shrewsbury , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Shrewsbury conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to check the registration formalities are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Shrewsbury is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. Currently approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration occurs after the purchaser has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
