PLEASE READ BEFORE POSTING: Hello Forumites! In order to help keep the Forum a useful, safe and friendly place for our users, discussions around non-MoneySaving matters are not permitted per the Forum rules. While we understand that mentioning house prices may sometimes be relevant to a user's specific MoneySaving situation, we ask that you please avoid veering into broad, general debates about the market, the economy and politics, as these can unfortunately lead to abusive or hateful behaviour. Threads that are found to have derailed into wider discussions may be removed. Users who repeatedly disregard this may have their Forum account banned. Please also avoid posting personally identifiable information, including links to your own online property listing which may reveal your address. Thank you for your understanding.

Read through the original T&C's from the solicitors to see who the complaints partner / manager* is then send and email to them, in the subject header write Complaint - (ref number) and carefully set out a timeline from date of completion until now.
Don't accuse the solicitor of anything as it's just all guesswork, explain you are concerned it's not yet registered in your name(s) and also with the mortgage lenders mortgage registered (if there is one) and ask for a full breakdown of what has been done, what the position of registration is and when it's expected to be registered, being mindful of delays due to how the solicitors and land registry are working at the moment.

lauren341 - thanks for letting me have the specific details
Our records show that we received an application last year and captured that in our systems on 21 August last year. Unfortunately it was rejected as incomplete
We added a fresh application on 9 March under provisional title HP844752. That’s still with us so the fault as presumably rectified.Unfortunately Covid 19 has then impacted so it’s likely to be several weeks still until it’s considered/processedThe key point to make is that your purchase is protected as we have the application.The wider issues re lodgement, rejection and timescales since are all matters to raise with your solicitor. Hope that helps“Official Company Representative

Good work Land Reg Rep. Seems there was a large delay on the re-submission, but I'm sure you're helping the OP's peace of mind. Wish all public sector institutions were this responsive.4
