It might be that the lender will not release the original deeds (if applicable and increasingly irrelevant) until after the mortgage is paid off.

As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the premises so post completion formalities is not always an essential issue but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

I'm buying my first flat in Billesdon with a mortgage from TSB. The sellers would not reduce the amount so I negotiated £7000 of fixtures and fittings instead.
