Stated:A Staffing Crisis at the Government's Land Registry is adding thousands of pounds to the cost of building new houses and forcing them to stand empty even though buyers are ready to move in … Solicitors do not usually recommend people to buy a new or converted property unless title deeds have have been drawn up by the Land Registry, which is taking up to 10 months to process them … Builders who have borrowed money to finance developments are faced with big interest payments because the newly-built homes are hard to sell without the deeds.
