I bought a property in Tintern last 30/12/2024 and to date it is still not registered with HM Land Registry. It was part of a development site and my solicitor told me that it can take over a year to register. I have contacted the Land Registry directly and they say that the initial application was cancelled due to questions not being addressed in time. Do I need to be concerned?
It is your property lawyer that you really need to contact in order to satisfy any concerns which have arisen as part of the registration process for your Tintern property. Normal Tintern conveyancing practice includes an undertaking on the part of the vendor’s property lawyer that they will help resolve any requisition raised by HMLR so it may be a case of taking action to enforce that undertaking if necessary.
