Just acquired a semi-detached house in St Leonards On Sea , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record my title? My St Leonards On Sea conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in St Leonards On Sea is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than the rest of England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. Currently approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property so post completion formalities is not usually top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
