Removing marital home rights

Can anyone help?
After buying a house that was meant to be a 6-8 week 'no-chain' sale we are now on week 15 after access issues, dealing with land registry, dealing with the council and dealing with marital settlements! We are on the last leg and the sellers need marital home rights removing - This was applied for a week ago and the application was received at land registry last night.
Anyone have any idea or experience of how long this takes for them to remove the right and provide updated documents? We just want to get a date set now.

Replied to on Land Registry thread as follows
The average timescale is currently 9 working days between receipt and consideration/registration. If it is all in order I would though expect it to be completed within that average, say 4/5 working days“Official Company Representative

There are never guarantees and I would have told you that was optimistic if you were here earlier. I've not found 'no chain' to be much or any quicker really. Average is 12 weeks.Dhind91840 wrote: »After buying a house that was meant to be a 6-8 week 'no-chain' sale...2024 wins: *must start comping again!*0 -
Well it's week 15 so let's hope this home rights removal hurries up or it will end up being week 21!0

Been there, got the t-shirt on a deal that was hoping to be tied up in 3-4 weeks :rotfl: Also had unforeseen issues. Took around 5 months from offer to completion in the end.Dhind91840 wrote: »Well it's week 15 so let's hope this home rights removal hurries up or it will end up being week 21!2024 wins: *must start comping again!*0 -
