Barclays - How long to get title deed?

Options
I understand this is not a usual time but it’s been over 4weeks since requested. Anyone else had any time delays in getting deeds from this company?

it’s the vendor of the house I’m buying whose deeds have not arrived at my solicitor

    Why do they need deeds held by the bank? Is it unregistered?

    I am in a similar situation. 

    We were hoping to have date of entry on the 1st July but the executors don’t know where the mortgage deeds are, and my solicitor wants to go over them before sale. I am in Scotland and the executors solicitor has now requested a copy from the Scotland register but the deeds are in the old sasine register so god knows when they will be back. 

    Been waiting a full year on this property, 9mths for confirmation the rest just trying to get the sale through
