I got the keys to my apartment on 5 May and the transaction details are still not registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Fordingbridge expressed confidence that it would be registered in less than a month. Are titles in Fordingbridge uniquely lengthy to register?

As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties.
