Have completed on a a terraced house in Caerwys , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Caerwys conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.

As far as conveyancing in Caerwys registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the property so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should clear the service charge as you normally would because all ground rent and maintenance invoices will be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most managing agents will not acknowledge the buyer until the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
