Hello Land registry - I hope you can help - I am purchasing a property that had probate granted and now, just as we were about to exchange the vendors solicitor have advised them to change the title deeds into their names rather than the deceased.  They have asked it to be expedited and have been informed today that it wont be until 18th October. 
 My mortgage offer will of run out over a month before then, more stamp duty will be due and I wont be able to proceed with the sale as my funds set aside will be depleted ( I have already lost one house after waiting nine months for vendors to secure onward purchase and thought this one would be easier as no chain)
Is this really the earliest it can be processed?

That doesn’t ring true as expedition generally means considered much sooner. October would be an estimated date for a non-expedited application to update an existing register. So that’s the type of reply I’d expect if they’d asked ‘how long?’
Do you know the title number involved? 

Title Number WSX65917

Many thanks. So only lodged 27th July and the October date would be an estimated wait time only. 

We ask solicitors to request expedition through a dedicated channel and to submit documentary evidence of the confirmed purchase. They haven’t done that and have simply included a letter of request with their submission. That won’t be seen until the application is considered. 

I’ll flag it with colleagues and ask them to expedite it so that should mean it’s looked at in the next 2 weeks, often sooner. Everything then hinges on it being in order of course

You are amazing thank you so much

Hello Land Registry
I am part of a chain which is waiting for a lease extension to be registered before it can progress and complete - this is the only thing holding it up!  We were told on 15 July that expedition had been requested.  Should it have been completed by now? The reference I have been given is C304CXR - can you shine any light please? We have been ready to go for months

Expedition shortens the wait time before it’s considered to under 2 weeks. If it was expedited on 15th July then either it wasn’t in order or wider checks were needed or there are prior applications against the freehold which have priority.

If the conveyancer told you expedition had been requested they should also be able to tell you if it was approved and then if any delay also. 

I’ll take a look as well though and post again

So expedited 3rd July but application wasn’t in order. Correspondence too and fro since and our last request was today. The conveyancer involved should be able to clarify what the issues are if you need to know and can also help with timescales for them resolving matters

Thank you so much for this - I will chase on the timescales and hope it isn't something hugely complicated and time consuming for them to resolve!

Hi, we are currently going through the legal process of buying a barn which has planning permission on already. 

The barn is part of a larger plot and upon sale to us the deeds will need to be split so we can purchase just the barn and surrounding area. 

How long is this process likely to take in terms of getting it split at the land registry from when everything is submitted? 

The planning lapses on Aug 22 and we have seen some wait times of months which is making us a little nervous as we need to start organising the build 
Any help will be greatly appreciated 

Thank you

When I say planning lapses Aug 22 I mean in 2022 not in a number of weeks!

Hi,
My brother and I are in the process of selling a flat belonging to our late father. The lease had to be extended and the flat registered to my brother and I. Solicitor informed me on 15th April that everything had been received by land registry. I have been trying to find out how long this will take to be registered but am not getting much info back from solicitor. I have been told it was expedited. If you're able to provide any idea of timescale it would be much appreciated. 
Title number is GM233718

Thanks

Hi there, 

You very kindly commented on another post I made some weeks ago now. Things are still progressing fairly slowly and I am still very concerned about when we're going to be able to finally complete this whole process, it's very difficult for me to move during the month of September as I start work again and need to focus on settling new vulnerable students.

The current situation is that the buyer have now sacked their conveyancer and appointed another firm of solicitors. They have signed the deed of covenant and as far as I am aware, my solicitor has made an expedited application for the restriction to be disapplied.

I wonder if you would be able to let me know the status of this application?  The title number is LL223042.
Thank you in advance.

Several months. If there’s a linked and dependent transaction then the conveyancer needs to request expedition.
