As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd parties.

Historically registration takes place after the purchaser has moved in to the premises so post completion formalities is not always top priority yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor must communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
