Just bought a semi-detached house in Homerton , how long will it take for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my proprietorship? My Homerton conveyancing solicitor has been very slow, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are dealt with.

There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Homerton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ depending on the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry need to notify any 3rd persons or bodies. As of today approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Historically registration is effected once the purchaser has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not usually primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
