I completed on my house on 12 May and my personal details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Charlton expressed confidence that it should be dealt with in less than a month. Are transfers in Charlton particularly slow to register?
As far as conveyancing in Charlton is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any 3rd parties. At present in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration takes place once the purchaser has moved in to the property so registration formalities is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
