As far as conveyancing in Denham registration is no faster or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected once the buyer has moved in to the premises thus registration formalities is not typically primary concern yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
