Just acquired a detached house in Flint , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Flint conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure that my name is registered.
As far as conveyancing in Flint registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not typically primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
