Title Deed Change - How Long Does it Take?

I'm in the process of buying a property and we've hit a snag. The seller has a pending application with HM Land Registry to change the title deeds, and this is holding up our exchange of contracts.

Does anyone have any experience with this? How long does it typically take for HM Land Registry to process a title deed change application?

We're getting a bit anxious as we've already found our buyer and don't want to lose the chain. Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Kurtis - although this is a public forum it's really only used by us, HMLR, to support individual posters. There's no 'community' insights or thread sharing of experiences as a result. So I wouldn't expect anyone to share their own experiences.
If there's a pending application to update the register and there's an urgency, then they need to request that it's expedited. Expedition generally gets the processing started but everything then hinges on the application being in order.
If you have the title number/postal address then happy to take a look to see what's happening?

Hi, Thanks for the response.

The address is 54 Southern Avenue, London, SE25 4BS

Hi Kurtis - application submitted back in March and partially processed. Unfortunately it's not in order and we have been in correspondence with the conveyancer and our last contact was on 9th Dec. 
You'll need to confirm with them and clarify what's still outstanding

Hi, weve been told that application documents needed have been submitted, what are your current turnaround times for updating the title?

Thanks

Hi Kurtis - the conveyancer has replied re that title application so that will be referred back to the casework to consider. If it's now all in order it will be processed asap and usually within a few days depending on available resources
