rectification of the title plan

shubbar

I’m buying a flat and its taking more than 4 months ready from the offer date. 
The seller solicitor are being slow and awful from start to finish.
My solicitor believe The filed plan is incorrect regarding the access way to the property. It seems like a simple change. The seller solicitor arrange for the land registry 
to amend the plan accordingly as the property should include the land coloured green on the lease plan.
We have also asked land registry to expedite. 

How long dose land registry take for such request I have been waiting around 7 working days now. Im not sure if this will take months or week to make such change. I’m currently on temporary accommodation waiting for this amendment to take place.
 Please let me know from experience with land registry , how long this cant take . 

thank you

If you post on the Land Registry questions thread with the title number they should be able to tell you exactly what is happening and how long it should take.

Not clear exactly what the Plan currently shows and what you/your solicitor believe it should show, and hence what change has been requested.

But it is likely the LR will have to contact the freeholder, and /or owner of any other Title affected (lease or free) whose own Plan might need to be amended to match, or whose ownership might be affected.

And then of course, those people might object to the amendment proposed.

So whilst the Land Registry's own timescales are relevant, it will also depend how fast others respond, and whether objections are received....

The amendment is about the access way to the property. In the current plan we have the right over half of the access way (coloured brown) and other half is coloured green . My solicitor wants to amend the plan to include the other half ( green side ). 

the previous owner didnt have any problem purchasing property with such a plan. Im not sure why my solicitor picked up on this. 

Any ideas of time frame of such request and wether this is essential to hold up the sale

Land Registry already replied to you in their thread. They need more information from your solicitor and are waiting for a reply before they can progress any further...

Talk to your solicitor. We haven't seen the deeds.

Half which way? down the middle or across? Can you gain access by walking down one side? It's really impossible to comment without full knowledge.

Perhaps you have a better solicitor?

Timeframe depends on LR. And on the freeholder agreeing. And on freeholder's speed. And ... and....

If the lender's solicitor insists thismust be done before they will release a mortgage, then yes it's essential. If there's no mortgage you could instruct your solicitor to ignore the isue and proceed. Entirely at your own risk. But then, why employ a solicitor and then ignore his legal advice......?

7 days? This sort of change could take 7 months....
