As far as conveyancing in Headley registration is no quicker or slower than the rest of the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ according to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any interested persons or bodies. Currently roughly 80% of such applications are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property therefore post completion formalities is not usually primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
