There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Westminster registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry communicate with any third persons or bodies. As of today in the region of three quarters of such applications are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to protracted hold-ups. Registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the premises therefore an expedited registration is not typically an essential issue yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.

Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
