There is nothing unique about conveyancing in Finsbury registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timescales can differ subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any other persons or bodies.

This case was in relation to 1 flat. The number of years remaining on the existing lease(s) was 66.8 years.
