Voluntary first registration -time scale for registration please

I am planning to make a voluntary first registration for a 1970s house, I do not foresee any problems but I wonder very roughly how long typically the application will take to be be processed and approved by the Land Registry.<br> <br> I ask as the property may be sold soon and I wondered if it was better maybe to let the purchaser undertake the FR1 process, but that presumably could delay the transaction considerably?<br> <br> Thank you.&#160;

Richard - Information on current processing times for applications which require creation of new register can be found on our website under the section titled <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/hm-land-registry-processing-times#complex-changes-and-new-entries">Complex changes and new entries</a>.&#160;&#160;<br> <br> If the delay in registration causes any difficulties or holds up some transaction, then there is an option to <a href="https://www.gov.uk/guidance/request-an-expedite">request expedite</a>.&#160;<br> <br> Hope this helps.&#160;
