There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Ladywell registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any 3rd parties. As of today approximately three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive delays. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the premises thus 'speed' is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer must contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

It is not always the case and you are free to use whichever conveyancing practitioner you decide for your Ladywell conveyancing. A conveyancer recommended by a 3rd party adviser may not necessarily be the right conveyancer, they may put forward their own conveyancing firm who are based remotely. In this instance you may not have contact with your property lawyer and due to the lack of continuity in the transaction, it may be difficult to obtain progress reports.
