I purchased my home on 9 October and the transaction details is not yet on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Silsoe advises it will be registered in a couple of weeks. Are properties in Silsoe particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Silsoe 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 it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties.
