Buying a property is exciting but delays can sometimes happen along the way.

Some of the most common reasons a property transaction may take longer include:

🏠 Delays in mortgage approvals
📄 Missing paperwork or incomplete information
🔗 Long property chains
⚖️ Leasehold or title complications
🛠 Issues raised during surveys
✍️ Slow responses between parties involved

While some delays are unavoidable, having legal support can help keep things moving and ensure issues are addressed as efficiently as possible.

At Adcocks Solicitors, we work closely with our clients throughout the process to provide clear communication and practical guidance from start to finish.

‘Gone away’… but forgotten to update your Land Registry address?

Written by Mark Adcock, Senior Partner at Adcocks Solicitors.

“I've been in practice for over 50 years now, and during that time I have seen time and time again property owners who have not advised the Land Registry that they have changed their address. This can result in a very dangerous outcome.

Most people know what the Land Registry is and does. It maintains the registers of all registered land in the UK, which amongst other things, shows the registered owner of the land and their service address.

Most of us who live in our home, use that address. And correctly so. But what about if you move and let your house out? Or have an investment property elsewhere, whether commercial or residential? What address do you use?

Whatever you choose, it must be an address where communications from the Land Registry will come to your notice.

But if you move from your home and forget to change it, the Land Registry will still serve formal documents at your old address - and they have no obligation to try to find you.

If the communication was to advise you of a claim against your property or part of it, for example, you usually only have a limited time in which to reply. And your failure to do so is generally regarded as acceptance of that claim. And you could, at worst, lose your property. So it’s not something to overlook.”

If you would like support updating your details or discussing service addresses for additional privacy, please contact our team:

It helps reduce uncertainty, minimise stress, and ensures clients always know what’s happening with their matter.

By keeping clients informed at every stage, we help avoid unnecessary delays and reduce the risk of misunderstandings.

At Adcocks Solicitors, we place clear, consistent communication at the heart of what we do, so clients feel supported and confident throughout.

Buying a property with an unadopted road can raise more questions than many buyers expect.

Unadopted roads are privately maintained, which means repairs, upkeep, and access arrangements may fall to homeowners rather than the local authority.

That’s why it’s important to understand the position clearly before committing to a purchase.

Signing a commercial lease is a big step for any business, and it’s important to know exactly what you’re signing up to.
The detail matters more than you might think, and small clauses can have a big impact over time.

Commercial leases can be more complex than they first appear, and it’s easy to miss something without the right guidance.

Creating a will is an important step, but keeping it up to date is just as important.
Life doesn’t stand still, and changes such as moving home, getting married, having children, or shifts in your finances can all affect how your wishes should be set out.
Reviewing your will regularly helps ensure:
📄 Your wishes remain clear
👨‍👩‍👧 Your loved ones are protected
💼 Your estate is handled as intended
If it’s been a while since you last reviewed your will, now is a good time to take another look. If you’d like support or advice, our team is here to help: https://www.adcocks-solicitors.co.uk/contact-us/

FAQ: Do I need a solicitor before making an offer?
Answer: You don’t legally need a solicitor at this stage, but instructing one early can make a real difference.

Having a solicitor in place before your offer is accepted means you can move quickly once things progress, helping to avoid delays and keep the transaction on track.

At Adcocks Solicitors, we often support clients from the very start of the process, helping you feel prepared and confident as you take the next step.

Exchange and completion are two key stages in buying a property, and they’re often confused.

📑 Exchange of contracts is when the deal becomes legally binding. At this point, both buyer and seller are committed, and a completion date is agreed.

🔑 Completion is the final step, when ownership officially transfers and you can collect the keys.
The time between the two can vary, depending on what’s agreed.
At Adcocks Solicitors, we guide clients through each stage clearly, so you always know what’s happening and when.
