There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in East Acton registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present approximately 80% of such applications are fully dealt with within 12 days but occasionally there can be longer delays. Historically registration takes place after the purchaser is living at the premises so registration formalities is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold residence.
