Client care: New videos for members of the public From time to time, conveyancers ask us if we can provide guidance they can share with their clients. Weâve listened to these requests and have created a number of short videos, designed to give members of the public an overview of post-completion and help them make simple applications.
By popular demand, weâve also created a video you can use to explain our priority system, when clients ask: Whatâs happening with my application? And thereâs:
We hope this guidance will help lighten your load and be of use to you and your clients. More videos are in the pipeline and we are always open to feedback, so if you have a client who is is happy to give time to a survey or conversation please email [email protected].

Deferral of discharge requisitions From Monday 11Â December 2023 we will defer discharge requisitions for 20 days when it is the only requisition point.
Feedback from customers and lenders has shown that in most cases the process of obtaining the discharge is ongoing and the issuing of a requisition is needless for both customers and HM Land Registry caseworkers. The data we have suggests we will receive most discharges within the 20-day deferral period.
We will not be applying this policy to applications that have been with us for longer than 20 days.
