Just acquired a terraced house in Nelson , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Nelson conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the registration is dealt with.

As far as conveyancing in Nelson registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place after the buyer has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not usually top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
