As far as conveyancing in Shildon registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timeframes can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested parties. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully addressed within two weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration occurs once the new owner has moved in to the premises thus post completion formalities is not usually top priority but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
