Expedite matter of urgency

Hi
How do I find out if my solicitor has requested an Expedite please?
I was due to exchange contracts yesterday and I have been told I have a pending application form Sept 2024- My buyer is looking to pull out of the purchase if we are unable to give her a completion date- which is meant to be this Friday 21st Feb!!!! 
Help my solicitors are not helping me and I could lose a lot of money!!!! 

Thanks
Kathryn- very stressed seller!!!!

Hi Kathryn - what's the title number/property address please?

NK397176/13 Winnold Street, Downham Market, PE38 9FE

Hi Kathryn - it was expedited today after the conveyancer requested expedition yesterday.
Expedition means that starting usually happens quickly. Everything then hinges on it being in order and that's where a delay can still occur.
I'll make a note to post again once I have something more concrete to share

Thanks Adam that is great news! I will keep everything crossed! :-)

Morning Adam
Appears my solicitors are incapable of talking to each other and I need to see if I can get the information required asap for my buyers solicitor- I have been asked the following:
I need an official form on the Land Registry portal.
Is this anything you can help with as all he sent me was an email screenshot:

Dear Customer

Your request for expedition of the application has been approved and has been passed to a processing team.

They will aim to process the application as a priority and this may give rise to requests for information (requisitions) or other matters, such as prior applications or official searches that need to be considered before it can be completed. If this is the case, the processing team will contact the customer who submitted the application within the next 10 working days.

Please also note that it can take up to 10 working days for a response to a requisition to be considered.

If you asked for the expedition of multiple applications, these have not been considered and you need to resubmit requests for each application separately against a single title number and HM Land Registry reference, this will allow us to marry up your request more efficiently with the application. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

We would ask you to be patient and not contact us again about this matter. However, if you need to:

·     Business e-services customers should use the ‘Reply to Requisition’ or View Applications ‘Respond’ function, and your enquiry will be dealt with by the caseworker processing your application.

·     If you are not a Business e-services customer, reply to this e-mail. This will ensure that your follow-up query is linked to the original one.

Please refer to our HM Land Registry: processing times for information about how quickly we will process your application.

Yours faithfully

Nicola Robinson
HM Land Registry

Thanks 
Kathryn

Morning Kathryn - what do you/they mean by 'I need an official form on the Land Registry portal"?
I suspect they mean that they need a screenshot of the information the portal can provide the lodging conveyancer with - known as View My Applicaiton and which will confirm the current details inc a 'progress' indicator - namely awaiting processing and confirming it's been expedited.
I can't provide that - the conveyancer needs to

Thanks Adam- she wont accept the screenshot I am guessing she needs something official from the Land Reg portal :-) I will go back to the conveyancer.
Thanks again!

Hi Kathryn - the application against NK397176 has been completed and the register updated

Hi Adam

Thank you so much for your help - you have been amazing!

Kathryn - thank you for your kind words. I am merely a communicator but very glad that hopefully your property transaction can proceed more positively from here.
