As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust 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 roughly three quarters of such applications are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Registration is effected once the purchaser is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
