Just acquired a terraced house in Birtley , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my ownership? My Birtley conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain that my name is recorded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Birtley registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected once the new owner is living at the property so post completion formalities is not typically primary concern yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold property.
