Just bought a semi-detached house in Cricklewood , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to record the transfer to my name? My Cricklewood conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are dealt with.

Even where you use a solicitor outside Cricklewood you must be sure that your lawyer goes through the deeds diligently. Your lender may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy. Some of the more diligent conveyancing solicitors in Cricklewood may decide that this is not enough and that the deeds be re-written to give you the most up to date legal protection. If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
