I got the keys to my house on 10 March and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in South Woodham Ferrers said it should be concluded inside ten days. Are titles in South Woodham Ferrers particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in South Woodham Ferrers registration formalities.

How does conveyancing in South Woodham Ferrers differ for new build properties?
Most buyers of new build residence in South Woodham Ferrers contact us having been asked by the builder to exchange contracts and commit to the purchase even before the house is built. This is because house builders in South Woodham Ferrers typically acquire the land, plan the estate and want to get the plots sold off as they are building the properties.
