There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Warlingham registration formalities. As opposed to being determined by geographic area, timescales can adjust according to the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present roughly 80% of submission are fully dealt with in less than three weeks but some can be subject to longer hold-ups. Registration takes place after the new owner has moved in to the property thus post completion formalities is not usually primary concern yet if there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your conveyancer could speak with the land registry and explain the circumstances.
