I bought my apartment on 10 August and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Denton expressed confidence that it should be concluded in a couple of weeks. Are transfers in Denton particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Denton is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups.
