    My house went under offer on 17 October but to my surprise and dismay my front garden was found to be unregistered in the searches. My buyer’s mortgage provider required the land to be registered by Land Registry granting Adverse Possession. It took time to get all the necessary land searches, plans and declarations for my solicitor to apply for this on 11 February. We have supplied all the necessary declarations and plans, paid for the application and OS survey which has been done and received by Land Registry. The two adjoining neighbours immediately sent their approval of my claim which in any case expired for objections on 15 April. I spoke to a very pleasant and helpful lady at Land Registry on 18 April and she confirmed that they had all the necessary documentation but she was unable to tell me when, or even if, the application would be approved, but she thought it would be some weeks. There is a chain of 5 behind me who have been waiting patiently for my buyer to be able to proceed but one of them is now threatening to pull out. I am 81 years old and risk losing my purchase of the last suitable house available locally in sheltered accommodation. I was advised to get my solicitor to expedite the application because of my need to secure the accommodation I now need. I appreciate how busy Land Registry is but is there any way the necessary approval can be speeded up so I don’t loose my buyer and the house I’ve waited for?

    That's the right thing to do, ask your solicitor to submit evidence of the confirmed purchase and a request to expedite

    The only part that throws me is that you say you spoke to us and that some of the wider checks we do (no objections by....) have been done. So why some weeks to go?

    What's the title number please?

    It sounds like there were more notices sent than just your 2 neighbours, as LR has said it's with lawyers. That probably means someone else has objected to the adverse possession.

    I know the history back to pre 1967 so it seems unlikely but who knows.

    It's not always the case.. I went through adverse possession a few months ago , well my vendor did.

    When notices are sent out they are sent to who ever the land may affect and the clock ticks for 15 days

    The complex nature of adverse possession was handled by case workers at the beginning but then it passed onto lawyers to check the legalities .

    Ours was registered well before the 15 days as the notices must have been responded to with no objection rather than ignored

    Hi,

    I've posted some questions under this thread:

    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/showthread.php?t=5992014

    Brief summary: I'm buying a house which was built 6 years ago, there is a chunk of text missing from the original tp1 which means that although the rights for the benefit of the property are defined they are not granted. Before my purchase can go through a deed of rectification is being sought to grant those missing rights..

    For the land registry my questions are:

    What is the current wait times on registering a deed of rectification (to rectify a tp1 filed 6 years ago with a chunk of text missing)?

    Are there ever any circumstances with which the land registry would reject a deed of rectification, if it's signed by all the original parties and simply add grants to rights already outlined?

    Would it be normal to require the deed to be registered before continuing with a sale?

    I should point out that the error in the tp1 only appears on the original developers tp1 not the original buyers (now vendors) copy of the tp1. This was reported to the land registry as an error in the hope it could be corrected without a rectification deed, but the request was rejected hence a deed of rectification now being sought
