Historically registration occurs once the purchaser has moved in to the premises thus an expedited registration is not always an essential issue yet where it is urgent that the the registration takes place urgently then you or your solicitor can communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.

Having had my offer accepted I require leasehold conveyancing in Broadstone. Before I get started I require certainty as to the remaining lease term.
If the lease is recorded at the land registry - and almost all are in Broadstone - then the leasehold title will always include the short particulars of the lease, namely the date; the term; and the original parties. From a conveyancing perspective such details then enable any prospective buyer and lender to confirm that any lease they are looking at is the one relevant to that title. For any other purpose, such as confirming how long the term was granted for and calculating what is left, then the register should be sufficient on it's own.
