I wonder if someone could tell me how long it normally takes for a transfer of property from one spouse's name into joint names? I imagine this can differ depending on the particular circumstances but in this case everything is straightforward. There are no mortgages, burdens etc. on the property, no other complications, claims, disputes etc. anything like that.
Also, is there any reason why such a change would not show up in the Land Registry Folio for the property immediately? I ask as a solicitor was instructed to carry out this work some months ago, all necessary documents were signed and the impression was given that the "job was done". The solicitor was also paid for this work (as part of settling an existing bill). Yet upon checking the Folio recently (using the LandDirect service) there is no change in ownership visible, it remains, as was, in the name of the one spouse only. Just wondering what would be a reasonable amount of time to expect this work to be completed and for the records to be updated to reflect this.
Thanks
