I purchased my flat on 1 September and my personal details is yet to be registered. Should I be concerned? My conveyancing solicitor in Old Town advises it should be recorded in less than a month. Are properties in Old Town uniquely lengthy to register?
There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Old Town registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the property thus an expedited registration is not typically top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Myself and my wife have recently had an offer accepted on a flat and had an appointment on Monday with the Post Office for the mortgage. They advised me that when it comes to appointing a property lawyer that unless they are on their approved panel of conveyancers then we will incur an additional fee of about two hundred pounds. This is because they will then have to appoint a solicitor to act on their behalf as well as the one we appoint on our behalf and we assume responsibility for their invoice. I have requested the Post Office to provide me with a list so I can obtain estimates only from their approved lawyers but was told they dont have such a list to hand over. What would be the best way of going about this?
You should ask the Post Office what their panel criteria is for a conveyancer.Then ask the property lawyer of your choice whether they fit that criteria and have they acted on loans for the Post Office historically. If the answer to those is yes, then just double check with the Post Office. Alternatively please use our search tool and we should be able to identify a conveyancing practitioner in Old Town on the panel for the Post Office.
