HM Land Registry launches process to request an expedite on applications

Article summary

HM Land Registry has opened a request to expedite process for applications where a delay would ‘hold up a transaction’, cause issues unrelated to ‘land transaction’ or it places a property sale at risk, for example, ‘a refinancing deal or development’. HM Land Registry has outlined the type of acceptable evidence to provide and how to use the HM Land Registry portal to request an expedite. All approved requests are aimed to be processed within 10 working days, subject to outstanding applications or requisitions that need to be finalised first.
