    I'd imagine the Land Registry's thread would be the best place for your question.

    Past performance is not necessarily indicative of current waiting times

    It took a few months for my mother's claim to be processed but that was about 6 years ago.
  • I think it depends on how much agreement/disagreement there is between all the parties involved but several months for sure

    Adverse possession is time limited as it has to go through due process.

    This depends on what evidence is to hand , it can be expedited if there is a sale which is being held up but will still have to go through timed processes

    What should have been a straight forward cash sale with no chain transaction took 13 weeks with great solicitors on both sides and all evidence at hand.

    Adverse possession is never a tiny problem
