Yes. The legal work for selling leasehold properties typically takes longer.
The buyer's solicitor will want to see this leasehold-related paperwork, including a copy of buildings insurance for the common parts of the property. The time needed by your lawyer to source this information is commonly the source of delays.
Your conveyancing solicitor should commence this even before a sale has been agreed, because this paperwork can take weeks to collect if the agent responsible for managing the property is slow or difficult to contact.
