Just bought a terraced house in Wakefield , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Wakefield conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my purchase is registered.

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Wakefield registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any other persons or bodies. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration occurs after the buyer is living at the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Where service of notices and proceedings can be at the property demised please confirm that this can be amended to include simultaneous services at the Lessees’ solicitors’ offices where the Lessee from time to time is not resident in the UK - such solicitors may be varied by notice in writing to the Landlord from time to time but otherwise will be as previously specified. The Lease must contain a provision on behalf of the Vendor to pay the service charges in respect of unoccupied units in order to ensure that all services can be provided. Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose? Please confirm the Lease plans are architect prepared.
