The time taken is often determined by the number of parties in a chain.

I happen to be an executor of my recently deceased aunt’s Will, with a house in Rocester which is to be sold. The house is unregistered at the Land Registry and I'm advised that some estate agents will insist that it is completed before they'll proceed. What's the mechanism for this?
In the circumstances you refer to it seems prudent to seek to register in the names of the personal representative(s) as named in the probate and in their capacity as PRs. The Land Registry’s online guidance explains how to register for the first time and what is required re the deeds and forms. You would need to include and official copy of the probate as well and complete the form FR1 to refer to the PRs as the applicant.
