Buying a property which in not registered at land Registry

[Milkman007]

Hi, my step daughter is looking to buy their first house, solicitor just advised them the property is not registered and it could take 6 months to register. They need to vacate their rental property in about 4 weeks (landlord gave notice)

Mortgage offer issued via Halifax.

can indemnity insurance cover this and allow to proceed post haste?

Any other suggestions?

many thanks

Normally takes 10/12 weeks to register property
Did the solicitor explain why there should be such a long delay?
Are the original deeds missing?

In answer to your question an indemnity insurance should cover any defect in title.
