I bought my home on 10 May and my personal details are still not on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Staffordshire advises it should be registered in less than a month. Are titles in Staffordshire particularly slow to register?
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Staffordshire registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not always top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
