Land registry title deeds update time frame?

Hey all
Does anyone know how long it takes the land registry to update the title deeds on a property after a remortgage?
I finally got my house into my sole name and the remortgage process was completed on the 5th, but the title deeds still have the old names and mortgage company listed.
Sadly you have to pay £3 each time to get a new copy of the deeds, so I don't really fancy doing that repeatedly to finally get an updated title deed!

From their website
Register update applications
Completion times vary throughout the year. The current average completion time for updates to existing registers is 10 working days.
Register create applications
The current average completion times for register create applications are:
first registrations: 28 working days
new leases: 100 working days
transfers of part: 95 working days
But I think there is a backlog at the moment0 -
Also, you can sign up to this service and it send you an email when there is a change on the registry so saving you £3 each time. When you get notification then you can pay the £3 to get the title.

Oh awesome, thanks for that
I registered a new account but have yet to receive the confirmation email, tried a second email account, but that too hasn't received an email
So I've written to their email address listed on the site.0
