6 months in to selling/moving and now this!

After chain break downs, slow solicitors, bereavement and change of jobs....it now transpired that within the current chain one of the purchases is an unregistered property. The registration has been expedited which I understand from Google means land registry will look at it within 10 working days. Does anyone know if this registration is likely to actually be processed in the 10 days or are we looking at months and months 😩 trying hard to hold on to actually see completion is in sight!

It just depends what the current processing delay is at the land registry which is dealing with that registration. No one here will really be able to help.

The registration may well be perfectly straightforward and if so it may only take a short time to process.

I bought an unregistered property previously. It had been built in 1984 by the person who lived in it and somehow never registered. There was no significant hold up. It was a probate purchase also. It was all done and dusted in under 3 months (the whole conveyancing process I mean). I'm not sure how much of that time was registering the property as obviously other things were going on at the same time, but the solicitor didn't act like it was a mammoth task.

We are currently waiting for our ‘proceedable’ buyer to transfer equity on his current house to his own company. My own solicitor finds it hard to get any answers from his solicitors as to how long they have been waiting for the land registry.

We are buying an unregistered property however as the other properties around is are registered we are ok to go ahead. It will be registered after completion.
Worth checking if the houses around it are registered as that would likely confirm plot.
