    LOL - We don't like to let the e-gap get too large between comments if we can help it. And it had been a 'tough day' trying to help some homeowners and this forum can be quite cathartic but no extra monies earned

    "remove the catheter"

    I've heard of thread drift before but from LR issues to urology is quite something.

    If I was to ask for 35 copies of leases would there be a cheaper price?

    Could the Land Registry please advise what the current wait time is for title plans to be updated? There was a dispute over a strip of land next to a house we are purchasing. I understand that the seller and their neighbour have reached an agreement and that the paperwork was sent early last week. We were planning to complete around 10th September, but have been told it may be closer to the 22nd now due to delays with the land registry.

    Can Land Registry please help. I have tried emailing but had no response. We are still being delayed on our house purchase until the title plan is updated. As I understand it, the neighbour disagreed with the plan drawn up by the land registry and sent back an amended plan, which land registry have declined. However, the neighbour has now stopped responding and even his solicitor has said she is unable to contact him. The vendor thinks the neighbour is deliberately trying to block the sale (I don't know why he would). Would there be a time limit that if the neighbour doesn't respond we can proceed on the basis of the plan Land Registry have drawn up?

    No - same price for each

    The application would not be left open indefinitely but we would need to decide if we go with the new plan suggested by us or revert to what was for example already registered.
    Your seller should contact us to query position and timescales
    Can you tell me when you emailed us please as we should always reply and the email address/form used?

    Hello, Mx Land Registry.

    What's the timescale like at the moment for dealing with a Deed of Rectification? Our seller and their freeholder have finally managed to to draw up a draft Deed of Variation to correct a defective lease (the title plan showed the wrong flat in the block). How long can we expect to wait after they've submitted it?

    I've heard the process can be expedited - how long will it take if they do that?

    Thanks for the reply. I have emailed customer.service@landregistry.gov.uk and citizencentre.walesoffice@landregistry.gov.uk on 28/9, 3/10 & 5/10. I haven't had a response to any of the emails.
