Have purchased a a detached house in Elland , how long should it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing the transfer to my name? My Elland conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to check the land registry aspects are dealt with.
As far as conveyancing in Elland is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any 3rd persons or bodies.
