As far as conveyancing in Tenterden is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of England and Wales.

At present roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.
