Just bought a detached house in Frinton and Walton , how long should it take for the Land Registry to record my ownership? My Frinton and Walton conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration is dealt with.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Frinton and Walton registration formalities.

Registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises so 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

I'm purchasing a new build house in Frinton and Walton with the aid of help to buy. The sellers refused to reduce the price so I negotiated £7000 of extras instead.
