As far as conveyancing in Maidstone is concerned, registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry need to notify any third persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration occurs once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually an essential issue but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

strictly speaking you should not need to have the documents attested by a conveyancing solicitor. Normally or notary public or solicitor will suffice regardless of whether they are located in Maidstone
