Hi I'm making an enquiry to ask why a change of name on a property has not been completed when a property was purchased in June of this year, as it still has the previous owners details on this government web site. We have been back onto the solicitors used for the purchase and they are suggesting that the problem is with yourselves at HM land registration. Can someone please help and assist me with my query to get the correct name on the deeds of the house purchased, kind regards Darren Honeyford

Hi Darren - there are lengthy wait times before such applications are processed but there's nothing to worry about if your solicitor has confirmed that it's been submitted <br> The register will be updated when the application is processed. The purchase/transaction is protected from the date of submission so a wait before the register is updated is rarely a problem.<br> However if it is then you/the solicitor can request expedition as appropriate - <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-an-expedite">Request an expedite - GOV.UK</a>
