As far as conveyancing in Boscombe registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales.

Historically registration is effected after the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore 'speed' is not usually primary concern but if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
