Just acquired a semi-detached house in Bedford , What is the estimated time for the Land Registry to deal with the formalities evidencing my title? My Bedford conveyancing solicitor works at snail pace, so I want to be sure the land registry aspects are addressed.
There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Bedford registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry have to notify any 3rd parties. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are completed within two weeks but some can be subject to protracted delays. Registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property therefore 'speed' is not typically top priority but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

We're first time buyers - had an offer accepted, yet the property agent advised that the vendor will only proceed if we use the agent's preferred solicitors as they want an ‘expedited deal’. My instinct tells me that we should use a local solicitor who is familiar with conveyancing in Bedford
It is highly unlikely the sellers are driving this. If they desire ‘a quick sale', turning down a serious purchaser is counter productive. Contact the vendors directly and make sure they comprehend that (a)you are keen to buy (b)you are excited to move forward, with mortgage lined up © you are chain free (d) you intend to proceed fast (e)however you intend to use your preferred Bedford conveyancing firm - rather thanthe ones that will provide their negotiator at the agency a referral fee or hit his conveyancing targets pre-set by HQ.
