You will need to appoint Beaufort solicitors independently although you'll need to choose one on the Clydesdale conveyancing panel. The solicitor represents both you and Clydesdale through the process.

I purchased my home on 14 September and the transaction details are still not registered. Need I be worried? My conveyancing solicitor in Beaufort said it will be dealt with in less than a month. Are titles in Beaufort particularly slow to register?

As far as conveyancing in Beaufort registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully addressed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration takes place once the new owner is living at the premises so an expedited registration is not typically top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
