There is nothing unique when it comes to conveyancing in Leigh registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can vary depending on the party submitting the application, whether there are errors and whether the Land registry have to notify any other parties.

Your conveyancing lawyer is likely to suggest that you should pay the service charge as usual given that all ground rent and maintenance payments should be apportioned on completion, so you should recover the relevant percentage by the buyer for the period running from after the completion date to the subsequent invoice date. Most management companies will not acknowledge the buyer unless the service charges have been paid and are up to date, so it is important for both buyer and seller for the seller to show that they are up to date. This will smooth the conveyancing process.
