There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Whitby registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can vary subject to who lodges the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present in the region of 80% of such applications are completed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be extensive delays. Historically registration occurs after the new owner is living at the property thus registration formalities is not usually top priority yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your lawyers can contact the land registry and explain the circumstances.
