Dear Land Registry

Please can I get an update on this application.  I understand everything that has been requested has now been submitted, so hoping we can meet our deadline of exchange before 31st Aug to prevent our chain collapsing!  Thanks in advance.

Good afternoon

Many thanks for your advice and link you sent me earlier this week with regards to transferring a share of a property

Is there any chance you could advise the timescale for processing this paperwork for the transfer? 
It looks like we have a buyer for the property before it goes to market so the timescale will be important

Wait times are lengthy so if you decide you are going to transfer it first and then sell you need to lodge it asap. Once submitted you can then request expedition to keep the wait time as short as possible. 

If you are doing it yourselves then you should expect a 4-5 week wait with expedition

Well they have replied today so as it’s expedited it will be reconsidered asap and if in order completed. Let’s hope that’s the case - I’ll post when it’s confirmed

Thanks very much Land Registry

I spoke to the solicitor we will be using to sell the property late yesterday and they told me the current timescale for the LR to do a transfer is a minimum of 3 months............is there any chance it might take anywhere near this timescale bearing in mind you mentioned 4-5 weeks??

Thanks again

If it’s not expedited then you have a long wait. I said 3-4 weeks based on you doing it yourself and then expediting it. You hadn’t mentioned a solicitor but if you are using one and they get it expedited then it could be done in under 2 weeks once expedited. 

Their 3 month estimate is based on a generous estimate and No expedition

Sorry for not being clear.
I only asked the solicitor to get an idea of the timescales but i have every intention of doing the LR forms etc for myself

The solicitor quoted my £850 plus the LR fees for them to sort the paperwork out which from what i have seen is a silly price

Hi Land Registry,

I own a flat in a converted victorian house. The house number is 6. There is an adjacent commercial property that looks like the garage of the house with its own land separately which is known as "6A". From the street, it all may look like a victorian house with a garage entrance in the same building.

My problem is the following: when I search in Google Maps or on the Land Registry map for my property, it takes me to the wrong address down the street (there is another number 6 house, but that is another story), even if I use the postcode, it takes me to the wrong address, which has made my life a bit difficult with delivery men, if I write "6A" it does take me to my property.

When investigating a bit in the Land Registry map I discovered that my property, the house "6" and garden are actually wrongly registered as "6A", and then I realised in Google Maps the property is as well marked as "6A", not "6". Basically, they confused the land and now my land appears as "6A", not "6", which is another property, I am not sure how they named the real "6A".

Is there anything I can do to correct this mistake? I've written to contact @ landregistry-uk . com at least 2 or 3 months ago but I got no reply, so any advice on what to do will be appreciated.

- House 6: it has 2 leasehold flats under a freehold: ground floor (with garden) and first-floor flats. The map number should match: 38578612

- Commercial property 6A is a freehold on its own: it has a garage-like entrance and its own land/garden and buildings on the rear side. The map number should match: 38578783

Thank you in advance.
