A relative recommended that if I am buying in Killingworth I should carry out a Neighbourhood, Planning and Local Amenity Search. Can you explain what the purpose of this search is?

I completed on my apartment on 4 April and my personal details is yet to be on the land registry website. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Killingworth expressed confidence that it will be formalised in less than a month. Are titles in Killingworth uniquely lengthy to register?

As far as conveyancing in Killingworth is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. Currently in the region of 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Registration is effected after the buyer is living at the property so post completion formalities is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor should contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
