How long does a title transfer take?

It typically takes 4 to 6 weeks for a solicitor to complete the legal processes of a title transfer, but can take far longer for more complex cases. Most standard transfers are completed by HM Land Registry within 6 to 9 months of solicitor instruction, but this depends on their workload, any errors in the documentation, the complexity of the case and whether it’s an online or paper application.
Professional representation is essential to expediate the service and ensure that everything is legally watertight.
