Hello I hope you can help my son completed on his house sale Nov 2020 contacted land registry in July 2021 said recieved it end of May 2021.
It will take anything upto 12 months as a back log. Contacted them again August 2022 said still waiting to be processed give 18 months. Now 18 months since land registry recieved it.
Emailed on 29th Oct they are still saying not processing yet as a back log.
Seems a long time 2 years since completing 
The title number is SL271114
I hope you can help to shed some light on what is going on
Thank you

What is the reason for you asking, is it just the delay or another transaction is required?


I recently registered for the land registry property alert service and immediately got confirmation of a pending charge in the backlog (expected) via email - https://propertyalert.landregistry.gov.uk/propertyalert/

Unfortunately wait times for some application types are very long and that’s the case here. From a ‘worry’ perspective there’s nothing for your son to be concerned about. His purchase and ownership are protected. 

It is very much a case of waiting until his solicitor confirms once registered

Just title to be updated as been so long and he has to remortgage early next year

OK thank you so much will hopefully be done soon as keep checking with solicitor every 3 months
