Customers reminded of fast-track service

HM Land Registry’s free fast-track service ensures property sales can proceed smoothly.

Anyone involved in selling or buying property, including members of the public or their conveyancers, can ask HM Land Registry to expedite (fast-track) an outstanding application.

Our fast-track service allows customers to ask for urgent applications, which are necessary for transactions to be completed, to be processed within 10 working days. Our improved Request an expedite guide makes the process simpler and clearer for the public and conveyancers. There is no extra charge to use the fast-track service.

Simon Hayes, Chief Executive and Chief Land Registrar, said:

HM Land Registry is committed to ensure no property sale is put at risk – we have always prioritised the delivery of services that enable property sales to be completed. Most of our searches are instant and most changes come at the end of the transaction. However, sometimes changes are needed urgently, and our fast track service means that anyone who has a concern about delays can contact their solicitor or contact us directly so we can investigate and resolve any problems quickly for them.

Our blog Where is my HM Land Registry application explains how customers can search and request to change the Land Register.
