There is nothing unique about conveyancing in South Yorkshire registration formalities. Rather than based on location, timeframes can adjust subject to the party submitting the application, whether it is in order and whether the Land registry have to notify any third parties. At present approximately 80% of submission are fully addressed in less than three weeks but occasionally there can be protracted hold-ups. Historically registration is effected after the purchaser is living at the property thus 'speed' is not typically an essential issue yet where there is a degree of urgency associated with the registration then you or your solicitor could communicate with the Registry to express the reasoning for the application to be prioritised.
I have been on the look out for a ground for flat up to £245,000 and identified one close by in South Yorkshire I like with a park and station in the vicinity, the downside is that it's only got 61 remaining years left on the lease.

Should you need a mortgage the remaining unexpired lease term will likely be a potential deal breaker. Reduce the offer by the amount the lease extension will cost if it has not already been discounted. If the current proprietor has owned the property for at least twenty four months you can request that they start the process of the extension and then assign it to you. An additional ninety years can be extended on to the existing lease term and have £0 ground rent by law. You should speak to your conveyancing lawyer about this.

I am on look out for some leasehold conveyancing in South Yorkshire. Before I get started I require certainty as to the unexpired term of the lease.
Assuming the lease is registered - and 99.9% are in South Yorkshire - 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.
