Just bought a terraced house in Green Street Green , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to register the transfer to my name? My Green Street Green conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be certain the post completion formalities are concluded.
As far as conveyancing in Green Street Green registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can differ according to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any other persons or bodies.
