Land Registry - Title Register

Hi

I recently purchased the other half of my property which went through in Feb. The title register is pending an update with the registry office due to the backlog. I want to sell my house and was in touch with my Conveyancer, and he said a memo of sale from the Estate Agent to the land registry can expedite the registration process.

If nothing gets updated, will this prevent a sale?

Or do I just ask my EA to carry out the above?

    Putting it on the market for sale wouldn’t generally be enough to expedite matters. 
    If you have a confirmed buyer then the urgency can be confirmed by the conveyancer submitting a copy of the memorandum of sale which then includes the buyer details 
    EAs aren’t directly involved in the conveyancing process
