Just bought a detached house in Hackney Wick , how long should it take for the Land Registry to register my ownership? My Hackney Wick conveyancing solicitor has been painfully slow, so I want to be certain the land registry aspects are concluded.
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Hackney Wick registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently in the region of 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises so 'speed' is not always primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

My husband and I are novice buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the agent informed us that the owners will only issue a contract if we instruct the agent's chosen conveyancers as they need a ‘quick sale’. Our preferred option is to instruct a family solicitor who is accustomed to conveyancing in Hackney Wick
We suspect that the seller is unaware of this requirement. If they desire ‘a quick sale', taking such a hostile approach to a motivated purchaser is counter productive. Try to communicate with the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are genuine purchasers (b)you are ready to progress, with finances in place © you do not need to sell (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to instruct your preferred Hackney Wick conveyancing solicitors - not the ones that will provide the estate agent a kickback or hit his conveyancing thresholds demanded by corporate headquarters.

Considering it’s a sale only, 475 + VAT would be about the cheapest for a Hackney Wick solicitor firm.
