Ive had my domain unlocked so i can transfer it over the UKReg and then point it back to my account. Although the unlock has taken place at your end i cant move the domain yet - i take it, it takes some time for the 'unlock' to become active? a bit like when you change dns settings or something? or should it be instant?

It will take some time for the change to reflect on global whois. If you have a .co.uk domain then we will need to retag your domain name as UK TLD domains cannot get transferred without re tagging.
