Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and if the Land registry must send notices to any 3rd persons or bodies. At present approximately three quarters of such applications are completed within 12 days but occasionally there can be extensive hold-ups. Historically registration takes place once the buyer is living at the premises therefore an expedited registration is not always top priority yet if it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your conveyancer could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

If you need a home loan that many years will be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the price by the amount the lease extension will cost if not already taken into account.
