As far as conveyancing in Preston Park is concerned, registration is no quicker or slower than anywhere else in the country. Rather than based on location, timescales can adjust depending on who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any third parties. Currently approximately three quarters of submission are fully dealt with within two weeks but occasionally there can be protracted delays. Registration is effected once the new owner has moved in to the property therefore 'speed' is not always primary concern but where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your lawyers can speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.

You can make a request of HMLR to withhold the price paid data but the answer will be in the negative.
