Just bought a semi-detached house in St Mawes , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My St Mawes conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are concluded.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in St Mawes registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any interested parties. Currently in the region of three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
