@Land_Registry
Hello when form DJP is sent in with a death certificate , is the death certificate returned promptly?  I can understand the application may take weeks/months which isnt at issue at all but would need to have the certificate back asap
thanks

The death certificate is returned on receipt. The application will then wait several weeks before being processed

Hi

My Wife and her sister have inherited 50% each of their granparents house. Probate has been granted already. The house is mortgage free. 

They need to change the ownership into their names so 50% ownership each.

Is this just a AP1 and AS1 form for each of them? Does a solicitor need to be involved?

Thanks

If the transfer is by the executor(s) to the beneficiaries then yes re forms

You don’t have to use a solicitor

Reference to a Transfer in the Charges Register ends: "Note:- copy in certificate".

Is that the same as 'Copy filed' ie the LR has a copy and it can by obtained via Form OC2? Or does it mean something else?

Same meaning so OC2 for a postal copy. 

Historically there were Land/Charge Certificates and a copy was included in those, hence the old referral to a certificate in some registers 

Thanks - sent off OC2 last week: what is aprox turn-around to get the Transfer emailed back?

OC2s are turned around in 2/3 working days generally

Good afternoon

Title number: MM92911 Application reference: X028LBS

My solicitor is not responding to my calls or emails and I am trying to find out if Land Registry have received the information you have requested from them so that the transfer can be completed. Once you have the information how long will it take to be processed please and if it is expedited what would be the timescale for this.

If they don't reply by 26th May and the application is cancelled by yourselves does this mean that the property remains legally owned by the transferor?


Thank you

Thank you

No reply to our request for more information sent at end of February. If they reply in full it’s normally completed within a few days. If they don’t then it can be cancelled and the purchase is unprotected. 

Suggest you escalate it using their complaints procedure

Morning, looking for some assistance. I have been waiting for an update on the transfer for more than 4 months now. Would it be possible to give an update? Unfortunately, I don't have the application number but can provide all other details in a PM. Please advise if this is okay? Thanks

4 months is the rough wait time so may not be far from being processed. Your conveyancer can track progress and confirm if still waiting. 

If you wish to DM then feel free to do so

First post, please be gentle!
I'm in the process of selling a property, although it should have been registered when we purchased 13 years ago, this was never completed by our solicitors, so we now have to complete first registration before the sale can proceed, this is underway and we have confirmation that the case has been expedited, however the registry or solicitor can't give any idea of a timescale, can anyone tell me in average, how long an expedited first registration may take? I'm concerned that our buyer may pull out and also our new property vendor may get cold feet and put the property back on the market.
Is it at all possible if both buyer and seller are in agreement, to sell an unregistered property, my conveyancer says no, but I'm unsure??
