At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the property thus 'speed' is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
