Registration takes place once the purchaser is living at the premises thus an expedited registration is not usually an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for an expedited registration.

The conveyancing practitioner in Meir who acted for me is not around. What should I do?

The first thing you should do is contact HMLR to make sure that the individual purporting to own the freehold is in fact the registered owner of the freehold reversion.
