Re: Land Registry
Hi, you do have to wait until your property is land registered before you can buy the council out alright, imagine my shock when a year and odd ago were were near the final stages of buying them out to only be then told, oh sorry, its not land registered, you cant do it anymore. Well with alot of determination, phone calls and letters to the land register and the councils solicitors with alot of perswading it took 4 more months. However..... If you living on the South side, it would take longer as there has been a freeze on land registration due to them moving over to digital. If your on the northside you've prob a year left before they start this. I'd ring Land registery and ask to see how far along your apt is at, if its at mapping stage, its close to end, and may take only another 6 months. But you can push this along by sending in letter yourself and also asking the councils solicitor to send a letter on your behalf, the solititor in DCC was very helpful for me with this.
Edited to say: Ps. when the council solicitor sent in the letter for me, my application was pulled (extradited?) from its que and placed in a fast que basically.
