    We completed mid September 2020 and our purchase is still not showing on the Land Registry website. We have all the documents from the solicitor as proof, just wondering why it would be taking so long. Would it be Worth us getting in touch with the solicitor who dealt with it?
    Most certainly as they can check progress for you. If it was a new build, new lease or first registration then it could still be waiting to be processed. If it’s not then that is a very unusually long wait 
    I'll contact them today to see if they have an answer as to why it's not showing.
    What's not showing? If it's simply not showed as sold on the Land Registry website, that's nothing to do with your Solicitor. They don't update the website.

    The only thing that matters is whether or not the Land Registry has updated the title.

    The title hasn't been updated. The solicitor is going to see why it's taking so long.

    When I bought my first home it took them about 2.5 months to update land registry, that was in 2016. What with COVID restrictions and a buoyant housing market this wouldn’t massively worry me
