As far as conveyancing in Swindon is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on who lodges the application, whether it is in order and if the Land registry must send notices to any other parties. As of today approximately 80% of such applications are completed within 12 days but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Registration occurs once the buyer is living at the property therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority but where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
