I bought my flat on 16 July and my personal details is yet to be registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Tenterden expressed confidence that it would be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are titles in Tenterden particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Tenterden is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
