I bought my home on 12 November and my personal details is not yet registered. Any reason for this? My conveyancing solicitor in Grasmere advises it should be concluded in less than a month. Are titles in Grasmere uniquely lengthy to register?

There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Grasmere registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

It would be wise to appoint a conveyancing practitioner now requesting that they open a file for you. This will facilitate: 1) the selling agent to issue a Sales Memo to all parties 2) the seller’s conveyancing practitioner to submit the draft contract. That being said, do not ask your conveyancer to order searches until you receive your valuation report from The Royal Bank of Scotland and you are happy to move forward.
