As far as conveyancing in Boldon Colliery is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in England and Wales. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry communicate with any interested persons or bodies. As of today roughly three quarters of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but some can be subject to extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer has moved in to the property therefore an expedited registration is not typically primary concern but if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer should communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
