    My solictor requested to expedite the land registry and the application was approved on the 8th June. I have waited 10 days and there is no update. I have contacted the land registry and they said it hasn’t been looked at yet. They haven’t issued an email to say why it has not been processed within the time frame or how long it will take. 
    It is putting my sale and onward purchase at risk and will also cause financial hardship. 
    I have emailed them myself tonight and provided evidence and asked that the expedite is prioritised. 

    Any advice on how long this will take 
    Impossible to advise beyond what you have stated without any specific details. What’s the title number or enquiry reference? 
    Hi, thanks for your reply. The application was approved on Friday 24th, however my solicitor informed me that she had asked for a restriction to be removed and the land registry hasn’t done this. She said she ask that they do this as a priority as the whole reason we needed to expedite was to complete our sale by the 4th July due to becoming homeless. We are still stuck unable to sell until the error has been rectified. Please can you help. Title number man401986 
    I can see that the application was completed on the 24th but nothing further as yet. I’ll see if colleagues can track down their request but if you are speaking to your solicitor please ask them for the enquiry reference they will have been given in response 
    Thanks, the reference number is 220624-834720
    That reference refers to an enquiry suggesting that the leasehold tenure should have been closed. It doesn’t refer to an issue with the restriction. So something is still not matching up. 
    The enquiry is with our amends team so they will consider and respond asap. I’ll flag it with them as well

    Ok thanks for your reply, how long does this take to resolve as we have to move out of our home by Monday 4th July, this was the reason it was expedited as we will be homeless.

    The application was expedited (there are no forms for requesting that) and it’s been processed 
    Wider checks are underway which involve the registered owners and require them to take action. Recommend you speak to your conveyancer to confirm/clarify details with owners

    Fantastic, can you tell me when this was processed?

    So has pending application been removed now or do we have to wait for the registered owners to take action?

    Will speak to my conveyancer today.

    Thank you for your help

    The application re,Ian’s in place whilst the wider checks complete. That happens when the recipients respond or when the ‘clock runs out’ for their response. That expiry date is 13th July. The application was processed on 22nd June

    Could you please check the status of title number WA356414. This has been expedited for a second time as it came back wrong the first time.
    We’ve got two applications it seems lodged 11th May and 1st June. Neither are expedited and both waiting to be processed. Both lodged by same conveyancer so clearly linked but doesn’t quite match your post. 
    Worth querying with conveyancer to ensure they’ve requested expedition correctly 
    https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-an-expedite

    Thank you for that. What you have said completely contradicts what we are getting told. We were told the original request to have a restriction removed came back on June 6th and it wasn't right so had to be sent off again. We were told that they requested to expedite that immediately and that it should be any time now.
    What sort of timescale would you say we are looking at without the expedition?
    A long wait without - please ask them for their request reference and hopefully we can close the gap re differences in what you are being told. 
    I will dig deeper and share anything extra asap
    I’ve dug and it appears there has been some confusing Comms between ourselves and the conveyancer. We now have two applications in for same thing and I have asked colleagues to expedite them both. 
    As far as the restriction is concerned no error was made on our part as it does not fall away simply because one party has died. This was explained at the time hence the further application. 
    Hopefully they’ve lodged what’s required to now have it removed. 
    Thank you so much for your help. We spoke to our solicitor yesterday who said he was finding it very difficult to even speak to the sellers solicitor. We risk losing our buyer soon as they are constantly being told it should be next week for us to find there is a further problem. They moved into rented accommodation to break the chain.
    The application has been processed but we can’t complete it. We have contacted the solicitor to advise why and it’s down to them now to provide the required additional information. 
    You’ll need them to confirm timescales and to provide clarity around what’s required etc

    Thank you so much for this. Really puts our mind at rest as it’s been over 8 weeks since our offer was accepted with zero legal work done. I’ll now leave it in the hands of my conveyance. Thank you again.

    Hello Land Registry, I bought my house (new build) 2 years ago, and have only recently learnt that the registered owners is still the vendor. I thought there was a massive delay due to Covid but I suspect my solicitor has made mistakes or not been on top of things. Unfortunately for me I have only found this out whilst trying to remortgage to a different bank, and now we have been put onto our current lender's standard variable rate. Ouch!

    Referece is NB86B58 and my solicitor says its expedited and Land Registry have asked additional questions. Could you help check what the latest is? Funny how we've moved in 2 years already and so not sure what possibly Land Registry could need.
