Purchase waiting on first registration

Hi, we are purchasing a property that is currently unregistered but the seller voluntarily completed a first registration (as we’ve been told by our solicitor) prior to the sale being agreed in October. However, because of this application, our purchase cannot be dealt with by our solicitor as the sellers solicitors are waiting for the registration to be completed before sending draft contracts. We have been told it has been expedited but have heard nothing in weeks, with our offer being accepted 9 weeks ago on this property. This is causing us issues as our related sale is ready to exchange and our purchase is stuck waiting for this registration and therefore our solicitors are at a standstill.

please could you help or give us some kind of update?

Hi Courtney - The application has been expedited and is being processed but there are queries that need to be resolved before we can proceed further.   We have written to the conveyancers who submitted the application and whilst they responded, one of the issue is not resolved yet.  We have written to them again and are now waiting for their response.

Hi Nimesh, thank you so much for the update. I don’t suppose you have any ideas on how long this could take once you’ve received what’s needed? 
 

Hi Courtney - It's difficult to give a timescale until all our queries are resolved.  If the response resolves everything, and there are no additional actions we need to take, then we would be aiming to complete the registration within a day or two.  However, if there are any issues or further actions required then the timescale would be stretched. 

Thank you very much!
